| Gameplay previews "cut-off" while playing in Mamewah??? **SOLVED** |

Alrighty... so i ran into the preview bug with mamewah already, and was able to "search the forums" my way out of that mess. Now i'm stuck with this odd cutting off of the picture when the preview movies play within mamewah. anybody else have this issue? here's a screenshot of my issue + my mame.ini & mamewah.ini text: ---------------------------- mame.ini ### mame.ini (mamewah v1.62) ### emulator_title M.A.M.E. ### List Generation Settings ### rom_path c:\mame\roms rom_extension zip dat_file nms_file catver_ini_file c:\mame\catver.ini list_generation_method rom_folder_vs_listxml ### Execution Settings ### pre_emulator_app_commandlines emulator_commandline c:\mame\mame.exe [name]{nodosbox} post_emulator_app_commandlines general_app_commandlines ### Artwork Settings ### artwork_image_paths c:\mame\previews;c:\mame\titles movie_preview_path c:\mame\previews movie_artwork_no 1 enable_fuzzy_search 0 history_dat_file history_dat_artwork_no 2 ### Screen-Saver Settings ### enable_music_in_screensaver 1 select_random_game 0 saver_type gamelist_slideshow movie_path movie_fullscreen 1 quit_delay 0 saver_commandline ### Additional Settings ### music_path lcd_display_file_path description_display [description]{scroll} ### Settings used by MAMEWAH ### current_list 0 ------------------------ mamewah.ini ### mamewah.ini (mamewah v1.62) ### ### (Global) Screen-Saver Settings ### delay 300 slide_duration 3 ### Audio Settings ### enable_sounds 1 sound_volume 100 music_path enable_music 1 music_volume 100 ### Movie Settings ### intro_movie_file exit_movie_file keep_movie_preview_aspect game_aspect delay_before_movie_preview 1 music_movie_mix mute_movies movie_volume 75 ### Misc Settings ### emulator_root_path auto_setup_emulators 0 theme wrap_list 0 remember_current_game 1 keep_image_aspect 1 refresh_images 0 delay_before_history_dat 2 safe_mode 1 show_cursor 0 keyboard_led_states -,-,- lcd_com_port 1 lcd_settings exit_action choice maxlogsize 100000 ### External Application Settings ### startup_app_commandlines exit_app_commandlines exit_and_run_app_commandlines ### Settings used by MAMEWAH ### current_group current_emulator mame locked 0 -------------------------- the way i have the layout setup, the movie preview should use the ENTIRE black area to the right, but if you look closely, the whole lower portion of the movie isn't viewable. even on the verticle previews the movie plays dead in the center of the designated area, and the lower portion is ALWAYS cuttoff. i did notice that when i play the movies through windows media player, outside of mamewah of course, the same thing happens - only the upper portion of the movie is visable. HOWEVER, when i use "divx player", the movie plays perfect. any ideas as to why this is actin' foolish??? all help is greatly appreciated! jace |

in hopes to help resolve this issue, here's a small video clip of it in action: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/v/z6k5r5cH9O4&rel=1[/youtube] thanks in advance, folks! jace |

Maybe I don't understand the issue... but it seems that the video is filling as far left and right as it can. Filling up and down would stretch the video (which doesn't happen). Right? Or is actual content being cut off? |

the video is filling left to right PERFECTLY - as far left to right as i designate when building the layout. it's the lower content that's being cutoff on every video, no matter how large i allow the artwork area to be. i originally thought it just may be the video files wanting to run at it's full resolution... so i made the artwork area as large as i could, and it only stretched the video to be larger, and STILL cutoff the lower portion of the video :( This also happens with my intro/outro movie, as well as the screensaver when it involves any video. so yeah, the thing just doesn't like video for some stupid reason :( |

a fella from another message board had suggested this: "Could be a video format issue, although you could try changing keep_movie_preview_aspect to 'no' in the mamewah.ini" this was my response: i thought it may be the mamewah.ini settings at first, or perhaps just a faulty/corrupt file within mamewah. so i went and ran not only the emumovie preview clips, but random movie clips from an external drive OUTSIDE of mamewah with my 2 main movie players on the mame machine: windows media player & divx player... here's the results: divx player played the movie files absolutely PERFECT, while windows media player cut the video off like mamewah did. that being said, it's obvious the movie files don't like windows media player. (which i'm sure happens to be the default movie player within mamewah - terrific) is there anyway to change the default movie player within mamewah to use my divx player??? i'm pretty sure that'll solve my issue... does it sound like it? |
