Problem with player's volume

[Vincent]

Hi,

I have a problem with the volume of a videoclip in my player. I want to turn off the volume of my videoclip. So, I use the following script: "set the playloudness of player "X" to 0". When I used this script, the volume of the player "X" changed in the "Property inspector", but I still heard the sound of my video...? However, when I have an audioclip in my player, I can control the playloudness with the same script...

Someone could help me, please ?

Thanks in advance,
Vincent.

Vincent,

what you describe works for me without a problem. A player object using quicktime playing a movie and then issuing set the playloudness of player 1 to 0 does what it is supposed to do.
What is you hardware/software setup?

Bern,

Thanks for your answer.

I try with a another videoclip. If the videoclip is a ".avi", it works... But, if the videoclip is a ".mpg", it doesn't work...

Is it the same thing for you ?

Vincent,

I tried with two mpg movies (the only ones I got) and they both worked. But there might be problems with different mpg clips that I dont know about. I seem to remember that the mpg format can differ, if I am not mistaken. Sorry.
Are you using Quicktime? I am on a Mac and dont know much about Windows. Maybe someone has made similar experiences to yours.

Thanks Bern,

Yes I use Quick Time with windows XP. However, if I put a ".mpg" videoclip with Quick Time outside Revolution, I can control the sound level of my videoclip...

Vincent,
I have no idea what is going on. You just could try with different mpgs, restarting Rev, and the usual generic measures to try to circle in on the problem.

would you mind posting the Quicktime version and the version of Rev you are using?
