video formats for Windows in LC 9.6.5? *solved*

[Curt Ford via use-livecode]

Thanks Klaus, Curry, Paul – just changing the suffix didn't help, but 
fortunately, converting the videos to divX format (.avi) with a free 
converter seems to have done the trick.


The target audience is creative/theater types so the simplest solution 
is best here, but that's helpful to know about LAV Filters and the 
situation in general.


Thanks!

Curt

LC 10 is supposed to move from DirectShow to Windows Media Framework, 
but I have no idea what d.p. version will make that change (or if it 
will really occur).


DirectShow has limited media file format support. Microsoft (I think) 
saw additional formats as a "third party opportunity". LAVFilters add 
almost all the formats you find with Quicktime or Apple Video Foundation 
(AVF) for DirectShow and the newer Windows Media Framework comes with 
support for most popular formats. So, until a hopeful LC10 release, you 
need to also install LAVFilters to get any sort of parity in support 
media file formats between macOS and Windows in Livecode.

Your Windows app should (encourage users to/) install:

LAV Filters

(I've heard that a future LC version will add better support.)

did you try to just change the suffix to -> .mp4 ?
However Windows should also accept .m4v

video formats for Windows in LC 9.6.5?

[Curt Ford via use-livecode]

A client has asked me to update a project from a few years ago that 
includes a few videos. In the previous version we used clips in MP4 
format with the suffix .m4v;  the codecs (judging from Get Info on a 
Mac) are H.264, AAC. These worked well on both platforms before.


With LiveCode 9.6.5 on Windows, the .m4v videos are not showing – 
there's just a blank space above the control bar. I'm seeing this in 
Windows 11, and clients have confirmed the same on their end with 
Windows 7 and 10. The .m4v videos do play OK on my system in Windows 
Media Player, and I am able to play an .avi video in LiveCode on my system.


Are there any tips for using H.264 videos on Windows with 9.6.5?

Thanks!

-Curt
