Here's the mystery:
If I mount the volume to a labeled drive (e.g., "Z:"), then it works well
like this:
play videoclip "Z:/Folder/file.mov" at 300,300
But if I use one of Parallels shared folders, the path is different and it
doesn't play:
play videoclip "//.PSF/Folder/file.mov" at 300,300
The result says "could not open movie file".
I'm not sure what the trouble is, since everything else in the program
works, and there's a lot of stuff happening with paths to multiple stack
files, libraries, etc.
Why does QT choke on .PSF? Is there a workaround I can do in script, or
must we avoid drives networked in that fashion?
Is the problem with Rev or QT? Can you play the movie in QT Player and
can you open a text file form the .PSF folder?
I think this issue is specific to QT; Rev seems to be handling
everything well, reading and writing text files and stacks with no
problem. It's only when we try to play videoclips that QT chokes.
This is a just a wild guess, but what happens if you convert the file
name using shortFilePath() or longFilePath()?
This might just re-arrange it in some way so that Rev/QT can work it out.
The file names are pretty short. shortFilePath returns the same path I
have, and longFilePath return empty.
This seems to be a problem with QT not playing well with Parallels
shared folders.
