DivX/XVid .AVI problem

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!

    Does anyone know why an XVid-encoded .AVI file would play fine on a machine with DivX codecs installed within a player (Windows Media Player or DivX's own native player), but refuse to play (show only a transparent window, though sounds play) when called within a TGF2 game?

    Perhaps the resolution (800x600) is the problem...?

    Oh, to clarify- said machine has *only* the DivX codec installed, not the XVid codec.

    Not quite sure what you mean by "extension" in this instance.

    By the one- it's not using an external extension to call the file, it's just using the ".AVI" object included in TGF2. And I should possibly further clarify- the .AVI plays just fine on systems with the XVid codec installed, but as there remains some question of the legality of the codec in some nations and territories, I'd feel more secure if I could it could play using something like DivX that appears to be more universally acceptable.

    By the other- the "extension" is .AVI. Should that (the "container") itself pose a problem?

    In any case, thank you for the response; I appreciate any help I can get.

    There is no Third Party extension in The Game Factory (from I know).

    And for your problem Sterling7: I think this is Framerate related.

    For example (indirect tough), I have some problem to read some AVI on my Playstation 3 (it sometimes stop after 1 second of playing or show no image, just sound is read) due to Framerate of the video encoding. On PC I have never this problem. Why? Because Framerate of PC-video players are intelligent; They find framerate and adjust if necessary).

    Thanks, Backstaged.

    And thanks for the suggestions, salamanderpants.

    I've finally given up and purchased MMF2 Developer so I can just cheat and use DirectShow and WMV format.


    It isn't cheating to buy MMF2 Developer, especially if you don't want to mention TGF2/MMF2 in your released products (you don't have to do that if you release games with MMF2DEV). Congrats on the purchase! I hope you enjoy all of the awesome extra features!
