Rick Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Hi people, i was wondering if its possible to have a window playing an introductory video while files are being copied, i'm aware a movie playing would slow down copying but is it possible? I have the mov file, just no way yet of displaying it in a separate window thanks for any help Who needs puzzles when we have AutoIt!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter1234 Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 There is command called GUICtrlCreateAvi . I am a newbie with only a few days experience at autoIt so I have no idea how to use this. But, you might be able to convert your MOV file to AVI and use this to play it. Also, search for ANYGUIv2.6.au3, it has a function to play AVI. I assume that since DivX is an AVI file that you could also play DivX files. MP4 files can also be put in an AVI container. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter1234 Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 TMPGEnc will output uncompressed AVI. BUT, you do not want to do that. Uncompressed AVI is a very large file and most hard drives can not dump fast enough to play an uncompressed AVI without dropping frames, and you certainly could not load other files at the same time. You will need to use a compressed AVI file. Install DivX codec (get from> http://www.divx.com/divx/play/download/). Then download this file to experiment with: DivX_320x200-divx+112mp3.avi from> http://files.divx-digest.com/movies/logos/DivX-anim.zip. Good luck. Please post if you get something working.

Rick Posted October 18, 2005 Author Share Posted October 18, 2005 (edited) Unfortunatley those links you stated dont go anywhere relating to codecs Edited October 18, 2005 by Rick Who needs puzzles when we have AutoIt!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter1234 Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Sorry. I got an extra ) in the first URL. It should be http://www.divx.com/divx/play/download/ and the other link will work if you paste it into browser address window (for some reason it doesn't work when clicked on). It should open a download window to download the video. If you can get the AVI to play I can help you convert your MOV to an AVI file (there are lots of ways to do that).

Rick Posted October 18, 2005 Author Share Posted October 18, 2005 (edited) Yes, that link worked brilliantly. I downloaded it, and used RAD Video Tools to batch convert to both .avi & .wav and using "Media UDF by Svennie I can now complete my project Thanks for all your help, god I love this site and the help i get from it Edited October 18, 2005 by Rick Who needs puzzles when we have AutoIt!!
