    Experiment freezes after Movie is played (case 31060)

    If I want to show a movie threw the item type "movie", I run into problems.

    The experiment works as intendet and shows the movie clip in its full length (30 seconds). After the Video is played I only get a black screen where the video has been and the experiment doesn't go on.

    I tried movie files as .avi and .wmv. I replicated the error on another computer.

    I tried using the duration parameter, but it did not change anything, neither the length of the shown video nor the continuation of the experiment.

    If I use the same video as a background video threw the "instruction" item type, it works as intended. But I need to alternate the size of the movie, so it would be very handy to be able to use the "movie" item type.

    I did not find anything regarding this problem threw the manual.

    I would be really glad if you can show me a way to make this work.

    Thank you!

    Please send a copy of the video file and the .que file to support@empirisoft.com (reference case 31060). I would like to see if I can replicate this problem on my copy of MediaLab.

    Please also clarify what you mean when you say you are trying to change the size of the video.

    Thank you Jason!

    I sent you the questionaire and the video files.

    By changing the size of the video, I mean that I do not want it to play fullscreen. By using the Movie item type I can use the parameter w-2 to reduce the size, but I don't think that I can do this when I use the background video feature.

    I am looking forward hearing from you.

    Try to specify the location of the background video using parameter values by typing MOVIE_1 (w-2) in the background field of the instruction item type and see if that works.
