Paul Forwood Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 Well, it's that time of year again. The Druids are gathered at Stonehenge to watch the first rays of sunlight illuminate the standing stones on the longest day of the year. Romantic, fanciful minds turn to thoughts of Shakespear and fairies. Time to dig out an old file but,,, AGGGHHH! Suddenly my old AVIs won't play! Has anyone found that renders they have done in the past refuse to run on newer versions of MS Media Player? This is the only one that I could get to run. One of my very first A:M tests from a few years ago. Happy Midsummers Day! Quote
higginsdj Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 If your old AVI's were rendered using INDEO compressor and you are running under XP SP1 or 2 then thats the trouble. Microsoft stopped distributing the compressor with XP SP1 (and you'll have to go to the INDEO website and by the compressor - or go to an old version of Windows machine! Your longest day is my shortest Cheers Quote

I think that's the problem then. So archiving all our stuff may turn out to be a waste of time unless we use a codec that is futureproof. I've stopped using the AVI format now but I suppose I can expect the same problem with Quicktime, or any other format, in the future. Quote
