------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Dec 20 09:07:30 +0000 2007 ------- When loading a document containing a video, the Vista desktop composition will be disabled. Once disabled, it stays deactivated until OpenOffice terminates. Additionally, video playback is not reliable (starting with OOo2.3). Very often I see the video for a short moment, then the video area turns black. This occurs in both drawing and presentation mode. I isolated the problem to the use of the DirectShow Overlay Mixer. Disabling the Overlay Mixer cured both problems. I have no idea, if some other configurations (use of VMR-9?)should be performed, I have absolutely no experience with DirectShow. But I can say for sure, that simply disabling the Overlay Mixer as seen in the patch, improves the usability of video in Vista drastically. In fact it was pretty much useless in OOo2.3. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
