Hi List!
setup: Windows XP-SP 3 / latests Gem / PD Release. (June 12/09)
My patch opens a motion jpeg coded avi-file with "pix_movie" and plays it back by "manually" switching the frames with a counter. Although no autoplay message is sent to pix_movie the movie starts to play immediatedly after opening the file instead of instantly showing the first frame. I tested on 4 different WinXP PCs and found out that the movie did not automatically play on 2 of them and 2 other showed the problem.
There seems to be a correlation with Quicktime. At first pix_movie worked only on one pc. i had to install quicktime on the second computer and then it worked fine. unfortunately the installation of quicktime did not help on the second and third computer.
any ideas? does pix_movie depend on the graphics-card?
all the best, Hannes
