mamewahb13 movie preview problem

[ppilot]

I posted this on the other forum too:

I'm having problems with the movie previews.  I'd like to have them start up automatically in artwork #1, and not have a key toggle them on.  I can't seem to get movies to show, whether I try to have them toggled or just start automatically.

It seems straitforward, and has worked on past versions.  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Have you made sure you have the DIVX and XVID video codecs installed?   I do believe the MAME preview movies use XVID...

Thanks, frizzlefried.

I have them installed, and the preview movies work with every earlier version of mamewah I've used.
