MOVIE problems.
4 messages in this thread
Hi Marlene, Thanks for your UNarc suggestion.It worked fine.NEW PROBLEM: I have
the utility MOVIE on one disk and I have a file that needs Movie to work on a
second disk. Can you show me the syntax to get MOVIE (one disk one) to "load"
the file on disk two? I've tried all kinds of weird DOS combinations, but so
far,no good. I'm sure all these difficulties arise from the one-drive
situation. Thanks again, Al Saveriano
Al, easiest solution would be to put MOVIE on the same disk – however if you
don't have room then try MOVIE volumename etc.. What this means is that you
are addressing the disk that the files are on by its' name so if your disk is
named Fred then it would be movie fred:filename – now i'm not sure if this will
work with movie or not but try it and let me know. You can do this with DOS
commands and they will prompt you to insert disk FRED so I would think the same
should be true for MOVIE.

Marlene, Thank you for your answer…however my SINGLE disk drive days are
over! I picked up the 3.5" external drive on Tuesday! MUCH EASIER!! But I'm
sure I'll run into problems and will be back on the forum asking my usual wacky
questions! Thanks again, Al
Welcome Al, congrats on the 2nd drive – it will definitly make your life
easier. Don't think of your questions as wacky – it takes time to learn any
system and the Amiga is complicated. We're here if you need us.
