Hello coders:
For as long as I can remember I have had a problem with animations playing in a pop-up activemovie window rather than in Dbpro itself.
There are a few threads on this on the forum but no satisfactory solution.
I sat down this evening and went through all the codecs on my machine until I found the problem which I share here with you.
No guarantees that it will work for you but you may be able to track your problem down using this method.
(I'm using 64 bit win 7 with the K-lite codec pack x64 btw, but this should work for all versions
If you are running this pack, or think you might be, in Start> All Programs> K-Lite codec pack x64> Tools> there is a codec tweak tool.
Run this and select Manage Directshow Filters.
This will list all the currently installed (active, de-active and incorrectly installed) filters.
I went through each codec disabling them one by one until, low and behold, the video actually played in DBPro and not that bloody activemovie window
The one that was causing my problem was:
DivX Demux Filter [directshowdemuxfilter.dll]
I don't know if it installed incorrectly (it was reported as being ok) or is just "no good" for my machine but I'm happy to report that things seems to be running fine at the moment.
I can finally watch animations on screen rather than a window under my running program.
Oh Joy, a
for me then
I do hope this helps someone as Google wasn't much help.
