MCI Error with old TGF game I made.

Welcome to our brand new Clickteam Community Hub! We hope you will enjoy using the new features, which we will be further expanding in the coming months.

A few features including Passport are unavailable initially whilst we monitor stability of the new platform, we hope to bring these online very soon. Small issues will crop up following the import from our old system, including some message formatting, translation accuracy and other things.

Thank you for your patience whilst we've worked on this and we look forward to more exciting community developments soon!

    In 2006 I made a game with TGF (Not TGF2.. but didn't see a forum for TGF in here) that was meant to be like a Laserdisc game in the style of Mad Dog McCree.. so it contains a lot of movie files and some sort of extension that I don't recall what it was. Anyways.. this game used to work on computers in 2006.. but now when I load it gives me this error:

    "the mci device you are using does not support the specified command"

    Now the program loads.. shows me the logo I made.. but as soon as it goes into the first video, this error happens. Does anyone know how to fix this? Already tried compatibility mode/running in different windows versions.. and also tried the DirectPlay option in Legacy Mode in Windows..

    Would love to get this running if I can. Thanks in advance!

    EDIT: The videos use the "MPEG-2 Video Extension."

    what extension did you use to play the video?

    is it possible to rewrite the project, and sub out that extension with something newer that works with your video files?

    lastly, is it worth you converting all the video's to MP4's? they will work - and there are plenty of software packages that will convert your files.

    It was the MPEG extention.. Unfortunately wouldn't let me use anything else but .mpeg/mpg files. But yeah! Basically did what you said in the last sentence there with mpeg-1 codec.
