So unfortunately you do have to stick with an older version for now, but the next release of IDL will use a much newer version.

You might try out VLC Media Player (http://www.videolan.org/) just to see that the files are valid- VLC is remarkably good about being able to play just about anything you throw at it.

Andrew

I do have the '01fcbdf' build (from zeranoe) - so that's correct - but I'm using the win64 (shared) versions. That's because I'm using idl64. That's correct yeh ? I realize your limitations with this are due to the licensing issues - not your fault. This is a bit of a side project for me right now - so my progress is a little slow - but I'll figure something out.

David is right, video is staggeringly frustrating. What I think is needed is some solid examples of creating the 'needed' formats. To me these would be:

video for powerpoint presentations (both windows and Mac)
video for iToys (phone ipad etc.)
video for HDTV 1920 * 1080
video for internet (html 5?)

Anyhow, thanks for your help,

George.
