Title: Video Previews from EmuMovies not working in Mala
Post by: markronz on August 27, 2010, 05:52:46 pm

I just installed TinyXP on my new computer I plan to use for my MAME cabinet.  Everything seems to run fine on it, so far as I can tell anyway, with the exception of one thing.   The video previews from EmuMovies do not play in Mala.  I assume that this is just because the right codec's are missing.  So can anyone tell me what codecs they use to get the video previews to work in Mala?

Thanks!

I had the same issue yesterday.

Some videos on EMUMOVIES.COM are DiVX and some are XViD.
Best to install these two codecs and all videos should show up just fine.

Perhaps, you have to install WMP too! :lol

You should need a Xvid Codec

But anyway please try the latest Version 1.71

I made a few minor changes to how MaLa checks the video for validity before playing.

So it MAY just work now.

Please advise
