More & More Movie Difficulties

[Jurgen Waibel]

Hi,

this is what we do in a application:

the defaultPath is set to the phat of the running application in an
openCard Script:
  global runningVideo
  get the filename of this stack
  set the itemDelimiter to "/"
  delete last item of it
  set the defaultFolder to it

This is done whe a user presses a button:

  global runningVideo
  put "VIDEO/C1PREP.MPG" into runningVideo
  play videoClip runningVideo at 539,329

This works with avi and mpeg on Windows 2000 and MacOS and even on a
HP-UX with xanim as player for the avi's.

What i discovered that this isn't running on WinNT 4.0 or Win 98.

If i put a player object into my applicaion an set the name of my video
to the filename of this player this is also working on WinNt 4.0 and Win
98.
