Hello
I have created several .avi's for use in my director movie using a Microsoft MPEG 4 Video Codec V1 in Premiere. When I attempt to play them, a window opens displaying this message "Video not available, cannot find 'vids:MPG4' decompressor." The audio (uncompressed by Premiere) plays fine while that window is displayed.

My question is: Is there an Xtra I can add to meet this requirement and allow me to decompress this movie? Space is a huge issue here and this Codec is working the best at reducing the size of my video files. The file plays fine outside of Director but I have encountered the same problems with other files in Authorware. Size wasn't an issue there as it is here so I was able to work around it then.

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

Just install quicktime 6.0 and fill out distribution license for this player. This supports mpeg4

At start of projector, insert an autodetect script to prompt the user to install quicktime 6 if they either do not have quicktime installed at all or a pervious version...

Good luck
