Video issues re color, size, placement and quality

[jarvis24]

What version of Windows and DirectRT are you using? Also, have you tried this on multiple machines or different screen resolutions (via options in your dtyle (.drt file)? And have you checked out the use of a colour.txt file in your experiment folder to ensure that your session is run in 24 or 32 bit colour? These aren't solutions necessarily but just getting at possible factors involved.

The computer that runs DirectRT uses Windows XP Professional and the version of DirectRT we're using is version 2008.1.0.11.

We tried the suggestion of making the colour.txt file and specifying the color bits, but instead of fixing the glitches, it affected the text files we have to display the instructions before presenting the videos. The videos still appears green with a shrunken ratio and the display of the instructions has been altered by the colour.txt file. The display of the instructions went back to normal after i deleted the colour.txt file but the glitches are still there, with the file or not.

We do not have the .drt files in our folders either.

As for trying on another machine, we are waiting on trying to run the same DirectRT session on another computer as you have suggested that we do. In the meantime, what can we do?

Did you get the code yet from sales? You should have a .drt file in the same folder as your input file. Otherwise, DirectRT will simply use the default style (styles.drt) located in the main DirectRT folder. Try making a copy of that default styles file and copy it into your experiment folder. Then play around with the screen resolutions under the display settings when you click Options in your new style file.
