Nehe Gamedev.net Tutorial Problem: AVI Video in openGL 18 Years Ago by kharri5 … out lesson 35 of the NeHe tutorial: [url]http://nehe.gamedev.net/data/lessons/lesson.asp?lesson=35[/url] Well I… appreciate it greatly.

I began to think no one cared at all about my trouble I downloaded and ran the zip that Jeff Molofee(NeHe) gives on that lesson35.zip. I both ran the exe and I ran it from within VC++ It still gave me the same error each time, so I know its not discrepency in code at least...Did it … Re: Nehe Gamedev.net Tutorial Problem: AVI Video in openGL 18 Years Ago by John A [quote]I began to think no one cared at all about my trouble[/quote] Don't think that way; after all, this is DaniWeb! :D Well, you've obviously narrowed it down to the codecs (definitely not your code), thanks to ~s.o.s~. My guess is that you're missing some sort of DLL file. Could you possibly be missing msvfw32.dll? If you are, you may want to … Re: Nehe Gamedev.net Tutorial Problem: AVI Video in openGL 18 Years Ago by kharri5 You are right. Daniweb is one of the best online communities of which I've been a part. So I do have msvfw32.dll it is in my windows/system32 folder. Did a search for it to make sure. It cannot be that then. Any other suggestions perhaps? I have to try to test this code again on another computer so that I know whether or not it is my computer … Re: Nehe Gamedev.net Tutorial Problem: AVI Video in openGL 18 Years Ago by ~s.o.s~ Does the executable run well on your computer.. ? Re: Nehe Gamedev.net Tutorial Problem: AVI Video in openGL 18 Years Ago by ~s.o.s~ From an extract on NeHe's site: [QUOTE]All you need to know is that you MUST include the vfw.h header file and you must link to the vfw32.lib library file[/QUOTE] Do you have the header as well as the library file on your computer... ? Re: Nehe Gamedev.net Tutorial Problem: AVI Video in openGL 18 Years Ago by John A [quote=~s.o.s~;305088]Does the executable run well on your computer.. ?[/quote] Yes, I believe he said that the executable downloaded from NeHe's site failed also: [quote=kharri5;304850]I both ran the exe and I ran it from within VC++ It still gave me the same error each time, so I know its not discrepency in code at least...Did it work for you?[/… Re: Nehe Gamedev.net Tutorial Problem: AVI Video in openGL 18 Years Ago by ~s.o.s~ Well the reason I asked was that I can't seem to find the lib file on my computer so I thought that it might be the problem. But yes you are right, without the library file the code might not have got compiled and I guess he did mention that his code compiled... I didn't know that his executable is not working -- if that is the case then it surely… Re: Nehe Gamedev.net Tutorial Problem: AVI Video in openGL 18 Years Ago by kharri5 [QUOTE=~s.o.s~;305368] [B]Kharri[/B], the only problem I can think of, as [B]Joey[/B] has already mentioned is that of the missing DLL. Check your Windows folder to see if the file msvfw32.dll is present or not, since its present in my case....[/QUOTE] Well as I did say before I do have the msvfw32.dll in my Windows/system32 folder. I havea … Re: Nehe Gamedev.net Tutorial Problem: AVI Video in openGL 18 Years Ago by ~s.o.s~ It really is strange since you are able to play AVI files on your computer. ( are you ? ) If not then I can't think of putting the blame on anyone other than the missing codecs... Re: Nehe Gamedev.net Tutorial Problem: AVI Video in openGL 18 Years Ago by kharri5 Yes, I am thinking it has to be the codec. Vid card update had no effect. The face2.avi does not play on my comptuer if I just play it in windows media player. It uses Cinepak Codec(which I found out at school where it does play) which is a codec that works with Video for Windows specifically. I did not know this until yesterday at closer … Re: Nehe Gamedev.net Tutorial Problem: AVI Video in openGL 18 Years Ago by kharri5 I definitely narrowed it to the codec being the trouble! For future posters and readers of this, if you have trouble with the video not grabbing the frame and everything else compiles and runs. It is definitely the codec that is your trouble. I got one to work by doing a playblast from Maya using the Intel Indeo 5.1 codec as the compression for … Re: Nehe Gamedev.net Tutorial Problem: AVI Video in openGL 18 Years Ago by ~s.o.s~ I don't know a lot about codecs, maybe [B]Joey[/B] would have something enlightning to say on this, but just a recommendation -- try [URL="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/"]VLC player[/URL].
