OK: rendered movies are unfortunately history

But under Windows 8 now also movies in full-screen are not playable (only video sound).

Code: Select all

ExamineDesktops()  
wsc=DesktopWidth(0)
hsc=DesktopHeight(0)

InitMovie()
InitSprite()
InitKeyboard()

MovieName$ = OpenFileRequester("Choose the movie to play", "", "Movie files|*.avi;*.mpg|All Files|*.*", 0)
  
OpenScreen(wsc,hsc,32,"")

If MovieName$
  If LoadMovie(0, MovieName$)   
    
    PlayMovie(0,ScreenID())
      
    Repeat
    	ExamineKeyboard()     
    Until KeyboardPushed(#PB_Key_Escape)
  Else
    MessageRequester("Error", "Can't load the movie...", 0)
  EndIf
EndIf

Sure it is not a codec problem on your machine?

Yes, in a window the videos are played correctly with pictures.
