Playing a AVI File [Solved]

[IanN1990]

Hi All,

I am trying to play a AVI file within a GUI. The code below is taken from the helpfile.

#NoTrayIcon
#include <GuiAVI.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

Local $hGUI, $hAVI, $sFile = @ScriptDir & "\Test.avi"

; Create GUI
$hGUI = GUICreate("(External) AVI Open", 500, 500)
$hAVI = _GUICtrlAVI_Create($hGUI, "", -1, 10, 10, 1920, 1080)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

; Play the sample AutoIt AVI
_GUICtrlAVI_Open($hAVI, $sFile)

; Play the sample AutoIt AVI
_GUICtrlAVI_Play($hAVI)

; Loop until the user exits.
Do
Until GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

; Close AVI clip
_GUICtrlAVI_Close($hAVI)

GUIDelete()

I know the code works as if i change $sFile to C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Examples\GUI\SampleAVI.avi it loads. 

The helpfile mentions the video must be silent and test.avi is. Are there other requirements in order it to load?

Test.avi

 

Thanks

Encase anyone else finds this, i spent some time trying to uncompress my AVI using ffmpeg but i still couldn't get AutoIt to play it.

I suspect it's me doing something wrong but i did found it was taking my test file from a small 166kb file to 170MB.
From what i reading uncompressed avi files are rather large by nature which rendered it not practical for my implementation.

The avi file must be uncompressed

The topic is still not resolved. I tried to transcode the video file, but in addition to system AVI, not a single encoder could create an unpacked file that will work. PS: please post a working example. 

I tried a lot of codecs, but did not understand which codec the file 😄 \ Program Files (x86) \ AutoIt3 \ Examples \ GUI \ sampleAVI.avi was created
