WINPLA / odd resolutions
3 messages in this thread
Brian,
Can you tell me if there are resolution limitations for playing flics in
Windows? As you know AniPro will let you play animations at all sorts of odd
resolutions, odd being anything but 320×200, 640×480, etc. I recently had an
animation rendered at 467×304 with a Windows palette that bombed with a GPI
pointing at the aaplay.dll. But when rerendered to 320×200 fli it seemed to
play just fine. So I am wondering if there are resolution limitations with the
Windows player?
Thanks for your help.

Michael,
I have used the Windows player to display odd resolution flics before. If you
strip the system, do you still get a GPI? There could be other items in memory
causing the conflict.

Brian,
No, didn't try stripping the system, but I suspected that there may be some MCI
contention which might be causing the memory to not be clearing properly.
There have been other strange crashes on this system which also seemed to be
memory related. However, I won't be able to test the system until later next
week.
Thanks for confirming the resolution issue, I thought I had used odd
resolutions before but couldn't remember for sure.
Thanks for your help and suggestions.
