Movie issues

[Michiel Spape]

Hi,
Have you tried:
A - running the same experiment on a different computer?
B - cleaning the computer from all 3rd party codecs and whatnot, and then, perhaps installing something like k-lite codec pack? Different codecs very often conflict with one another.
C - using the movieRT file with your experiment (or vice versa)? If the movieRT experiment can't run your video, but can run its own video, it's very likely still a codec problem. Conversely, if your experiment can't run the movieRT video file, I would think there's a problem with your experiment (rather than the video file).
Best,
Mich

Some additional information:
We're running E-Prime 2.0 on a Windows XP system. I'm not in a
position to check the hardware of the computer at the time, but
judging from circumstances(MovieRT is able to play while our video
cannot), I do not think this is a hardware issue.
