Movie format (codec) problems in E-prime 2

[David McFarlane]

[Sorry to post this to two threads, but Meltem hijacked the earlier 
thread to start a new thread and that got me all confused.  The 
answer that I posted in Meltem's hijacked thread properly belongs 
here.  (At least Meltem did not post an update that changed the name 
of the original thread, which is another pet peeve of mine :) .)]

You are off to a good start by paying attention to codecs and 
container formats.  If you have not already, you might also check the 
thread at 
http://groups.google.com/group/e-prime/browse_thread/thread/d18aafdc51d79ba9 
, which in turn has links to other resources.

You did not say whether you run this under Windows XP, Vista, or 
7.  AFAIK, PST has still not gotten movies & sound to work reliably 
under Windows Vista/7, so if you use those, then it is no wonder that 
EP gives you these errors with movies.
