>From: "Chandra shekar Reddy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >how can i make use of sound channels for background music....even when >playing an avi with soundtrack ? > >The problem here is that the sound track of an .AVI is not played when we >have sound in sound channels.....please suggest me to overcome the problem > This is a limitation of the way that AVIs play their sound through the old VideoForWindows interface. The problem is explained in detail in Chapter 15 of Director in a Nutshell (DiaN) free online at http://www.zeusprod.com/nutshell/downloads One solution is to play your AVI's using Tabuleiro's DirectXtra, which plays AVIs through the more modern DirectShow libraries. DirectShow outputs its sound to DirectSound, unlike the VFW interface which always sends sound to WaveOut. Again, this is all explained in Chapter 15 of DiaN if the above leaves you confused.
