eye tracking & e-prime2

[jkuipers]

Hoi Michiel, alles goed! En jij? (That is Dutch)

Thanks for your reply. I have made a new exp, not copied a working one
over, but even a sample of eprime does not work.

I have contacted the helpdesk, so maybe they have an idea.

I have the latest version I think, but I am not always happy to
install newer versions because E-prime seems to encrypt the program
more each time which makes manipulating and viewing the script more
difficult e.g., the TET and Clearview packages used to be free to
change, but the version of EP2 is protected. (we can still read it
though in the full script..)

I will try the frames, that may be handy sometime anyway.

Cheers,
Jan (Rouke)

Certainly, b) if it crashes even with just StartTracking (which is required anyway), there's no reason to think that video as such is the problem. So, it's a long shot, but have you tried updating your TET packages?

That is, exporting .avi at 25 Hz (or whatever framerate they are) writing out [originalname number], then making a loop over "number" with images showing every 40 ms, is pretty easy to accomplish, I should think (especially if you won't care about the occasional tearing).
