[PB5.20Beta12, WinXPx86]
I have a tiny, very simple avi file, 100 x 100pix. Plays back perfectly in WMP and QT.
When PB plays it, the movie is distorted, because it gets re-sized to 125 x 100.

Code: Select all

InitMovie()

Procedure Win()
;--------------
Protected sMovie.s = GetPathPart(ProgramFilename()) + "Busy.avi"
Protected iMovie.i = LoadMovie(#PB_Any, sMovie)

       If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 200, 200, "Wonky PlayMovie", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)

                         ResizeMovie(iMovie, 0, 0, 100, 100)
                           PlayMovie(iMovie, WindowID(0))
                   While MovieStatus(iMovie) = 0 : Wend
       EndIf

EndProcedure

Win()
Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
End

Busy.avi

Try rearranging the order so that ResizeMovie is after PlayMovie: (Windows 7 64bit - PB 5.20 Beta 17)

Code: Select all

PlayMovie(iMovie, WindowID(0))
ResizeMovie(iMovie, 0, 0, 100, 100)

... allowed me to play the movie you provided at any size (10, 50, 100, etc.).

Yeah, those functions were the wrong way round but it makes no difference. It seems that for some strange reason PB is hard-coded to play movies that are a minimum 125pix wide, so I have re-made it to 125 x 125 and that works fine. Really should work with smaller sizes though......
