why no mpg picture in windowless mode?
"makc.the.great[ at ]gmail.com" <makc.the.great[ at ]gmail.com> 20.06.2007 19:36:19
Hello. I have this HTML code:

<OBJECT ID="Player"
HEIGHT="120" WIDTH="160"
CLASSID="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6">
<param name="mute" value="true">
<param name="uiMode" value="none">
<param name="URL" value="bear.mpg">
<param name="windowlessVideo" value="true">
</OBJECT>

When I open the page, I hear sound, but no picture. If I omit
windowlessVideo=true, picture is hown fine. Same thing does NOT happen
with asf file, for example. Any ideas as to why could this be?

I'm not sure - I'll check it out tomorrow. Which media player version?

First thought - if it's reproducible - is that the MPEG playback is
going through a decoder which doesn't use overlays to display the
video.

How do I verify that? Or intercept the situation from JScript?

I checked on another machine (player v9.00.00.3349) with another clip,
yet result is the same: black pic if windowlessVideo=true :(
