Player object & AVI

[cborn]

Is it true that the player object does not play AVI? I can't figure out why my player won't play my AVI video when on Windows.

What I am doing is creating a video recorder revlet that records from the users webcam, and then plays it back for them so they can review it. On Windows, recording can only happen with Video For Windows (VFW), therefore in AVI. So is there no way to have that same file played back (on Windows) in the revlet?

Hi cborn,

I am not sure, but I think player objects in RevLets depend on QuickTime and
QuickTime for Windows does NOT support AVI files only QuickTime native formats!

You could try to
...
set the dontuseqt to true
...
But I am not sure if that will work.


Best
