Title: Mala and MP4
Post by: Comtek on March 21, 2013, 11:32:08 pm

i'm using mala 1.74 and i cant seem to get mp4 videos to work in my layouts.
i have installed all the proper codecs.
i can get an old set of avi videos to work.
my mala.exe.log says this when trying to load .mp4

V1.74 doesn't officially support mp4, but the WIP v1.745 does.
You can get it from www.malafe.net (unless you have Comcast which blocks it fo unknown reasons)

If you really don't want to update, IIRC the old version will play the mp4s if you just change the extensions to .avi without recoding.
There are programs out there to automate the process.
