New Avi problem!

[David Delaney]

This is the first time I have seen this. Anyway, I had multiple AVI on one page and I found that the background on the AVI starting to disappear while the animated parts were fine and the edges around the animated parts were like a mosiac...

Re: New Avi problem!

Hi David,
I'm not exactly clear on what is happening, did it appear "choppy" and "jagged" when you were playing them? Were you playing them off of the CD-ROM or off of the hard drive? This might simply be caused by a lack of RAM, or running that many AVIs is so processor intensive that your computer is having problems displaying them, basically a performance problem. If it is off of the CD-ROM it might be the same problem, reading all that information from the CD-ROM takes to long, so some information is lost, which results in the "mosaic" effect.
Do you know how many AVIs you were trying to display, their size, codecs, and bit rate? Perhaps you could make some changes in those areas in order to improve performance?

Re: New Avi problem!

Hi Mark, I found it first time when I had a few small AVI on one page. It might be what you suggested - but let me try and explain once more - I have a baseball bat swinging (3d animation) across the screen. When I run it in AMS3 - I can see thru the black background of the AVI (240 X 180) and get the bat swinging with ghost or jagged trails of the black background about 1 cm surrounding the swinging bat.
