Me again! I finally found the cause for the playback-problems: After trying zillions of stupid things I noticed by chance that the replay files use 24bit colors. After changing the display color depth from 16 to 32 bit everything worked fine. Shame upon me for being such a lamer, but maybe the dosbox guys should add that to the zmbv-readme. I had never thought of that for all the old games use an 8-bit palette anyway... |

Many thanx for the quick response midget and horseman, but somehow the myriads of avi-players I downloaded (including the ones you mentioned) either don't work or don't even install properly on my sh*** computer :mad: But I found a workaround that might help others with similar problems: I use the rad video tools to convert the replays to .smk or .bik files and can finally have a look at them... |

For AVI, you can use VLC, which is free and fairly uncomplicated. I use that to watch AVI movies and it works like a charm. You'll still need codecs though. No way around that as far as I know. If you don't have the codec it doesn't matter what player you use. There are some codec packs out there with busloads of codecs in one. |

What programs do you use to replay the .avi-files? I tried Irfan View but it always quits with an error message. If you know a good, simple and reliable one please let me know. (and YES, I did properly install the codec that came with dosbox 0.72) |

a year is a long time in codec land I don't know when it was included though. |

i think that the zmbv codec is present in ffmpeg which provides most codecs to mplayer. http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/codecs-status.html first line |

Yup, that worked fine. What puzzled me is that it didn't even work in MPlayer; usually ANYTHING that won't work in WMV or VLC or anything else will work in Mplayer, and if it doesn't, it crashes; However, this time it actually said "no video detected" and just played the audio on the clip until I installed the new codec that you were talking about; weird stuff. |
