Movies files in mpeg format that ran perfectly on Beta 2.0 will not load in the new version. The script says:
Sub VideoDisplay4_Run(c as Context)
AppearFemale.Filename = c.GetAttrib("Prime1")
AppearFemale.Load
AppearFemale.Run
but it won't actually load. I have checked that the attributes are matched, in the same folder as the procedure file, etc. I can't see a programming error, please help.
Thanks,
Rebecca

| We are having the same problem in our lab. Video that played on Beta will not play on the Release Candidate. We get the same error -999: Unable to buffer movie - too many retries Has anyone found a fix for this? Thanks!

| I was able to solve the problem by switching the video file from a MPEG2 to a MPEG1 format. I'm not sure why MPEG2 would play in Beta but not in Release Candidate, but changing to MPEG1 did the trick. - Tony

| Depending on what version of release you have, there are some known issues with EP 2 RC involving presenting movies and sounds. A new build of EP2 is running through Q/A now that is intended to address or diagnose these issues. Please note that the EP2 Beta made no attempts for real time accuracy of movie displays. EP2 RC introduced a new movie display model that directs sync with the onset of the object with zero or no delay. This change has shown that some movie formats and codecs have shown conflict between the Beta and RC versions and are priority investigation for being addressed. The MPEG-2 and QuickTime formats have received the most incompatability issues to date. MPEG-1, DivX, XVid, and H.263 (MP4) are showing the most success. Although PST at this time does not promote a specific codec, many users have found success using the free tools ffdshow and SUPER for video conversion. Please note that recent versions of ffdshow require E-Studio.exe and E-Run.exe to be on its whitelist.

For the "too many retries error", please try E-Prime 2.0.1.101 or later.
If you continue to have the problem, then place an InLine at the begin of your experiment that has the following.c.SetAttrib "Movie.LoadFactor", x
c.SetAttrib "Sound.LoadFactor", x Where x is a value from 1 to 100. Try a larger value first and then bring it down as low as possible that does not cause the error. If this problem is happening for movies that have a fixed file name (not using [attrib]) then consider setting the filename to an attrib even if the file does not change on each trial/block. -Brandon
