WMV Video wont play in layout
« on: February 19, 2010, 06:38:34 pm »
The docs make it sound like WMV is supported, however only avi movies will play.

Trying to show a video of the game, I captured the video myself using -aviwrite in Mame.  Those .avi files played fine.  I edited that, saved as a wmv.  It plays in Windows Media Player, but not Mala.  Any ideas?

Thanks!

It's on this page:

What are the supported video formats?
Avi (all installed codecs), mpg and wmv.

It's misleading, I assumed this was a general statement of MaLa.
