Movie format (codec) problems in E-prime 2& A QUESTION REGARDING TO PAUSE

[Meltem BALLAN]

Hi Eric,
I had the similar issues with VLC. There is an earlier conversation on
videos. I finally decided to buy OJOsoft. I use VLC to organize my clips
and use OJOsoft to convert (sometimes from mpeg to mpeg). I think they use
a different version of ffdshow. I am not sure what it is but I am able to
run a video for 3:40 min now. Unfortunately I cannot tell that I solved the
problem 100%. It still crashes but rarely. When I discussed this problem
with PST they suggest me to use SUPER. It did not work for me :( You might
want to give it a shot.
My current problem is caused by pausing. I pause my experiment when the
infants start moving and getting fussy. When I start running the experiment
E-Prime crashes in the case I have short video. On the other hand, it runs
without any issue in the case I do not use short videos (I use ctrl+shift).
Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks
Meltem
