video snaps fail

[kezza]

hey guys. Iam having a bit of trouble getting the game ex to go into videos and use the small snap video.

it works then if you go down to the next vid it fully dies and quits gameex and wont leave me a log file worth showing. i have turned off alpha blend videos, that didnt work. I also have the ffdshow installed so its not that.

turned off advanced graphics, made not difference. i even deleted some of the video clips that made it crash. I just dont know what else to do????

Any ideas???

Your better off uninstalling ffdshow and installing the Vista Codec Pack which includes all the codecs you will ever need including ffdshow (it also works on XP).

See if that works first and if there are still problems find out what format your videos are in by playing one in WMP and checking out the properties. If they are XVid format find out what codec is set to play that codec by running the Vista Codec Pack's Settings application. From there select "XviD decoder config" (for example) and try some of those settings (like turning off the "compatibility renderer"). But I have a feeling just installing the Vista Codec Pack will fix your problem.
