Online rating with video

[MLresearcher]

Hi, I am wondering, how do I add an online rating with a video in the background? I am using MediaLab 2006. Does the video need to be in any particular format?

You will want to use the BackVideo function to complete this task. Take a look at the following link:

Does this help?

The video I'm trying to display still does not show with the BackVideo function. It says runtime error 13 - mismatch.

Is it possible that my parameters are wrong? I set it at (w640).

Hm. This is peculiar.
Would it be possible to send over your experiment file?

[MLresearcher]

How do I send the experiment files over? Is there a particular email address I can email the files to?

[Trevor Newell]

Yes, if you send an email over to our support email, you will be able to contact us directly.

Resolved: When working with on-line rating items, don't forget that the item directly after the on-line item will work with the on-line item. For instance, if you want to play a video file with an on-line rating, you will need to declare the on-line rating, and then create a new item beneath it as a 'Movie' type. As far as I know, using the backvideo function with an on-line rating item-type will only cause an error to arise.
