MameWah Preview Video Background - Transparent?
Bloodwyn:
It could be ffdshow.
I had problems with stuttering of the videos in Mala with it.
My videos are Divx.
I uninstalled ALL the video codecs I had. Then installed the latest xvid (It can decode divx video).
This fixed my problem. If you get black and white video after doing this. You need to run "configure decoder"
and select one of other color settings. Not sure which one it was.
As far as keep aspect ratio - I have that turned off.
All my snapshots and marquee images have been run thru a photoshop droplet and are the same size.
That makes it so I can use image lists in Mala and have drop shadows in the background behind the images.
There may be some videos that are scaled a bit oddly and can cause a green border on one side of the image.
That could probably be fixed by re-capturing the video at a different resolution.
The area where my videos are shown is always black for me. Here is a screenshot of my Mala background.
These videos are the same ones I used in Mamewah. They worked fine there as well.

I was hoping it wasn't a codec issue...but it appears that it might be from what everyone is saying. I'm going to have to work on it a bit more I guess and possibly convert some resolutions (fun!). I was hoping it wasn't this since the PC is also my HTPC and I abhor messing with codecs on there because of the issues that always seem to arise.
BTW, Bloodwyn, I really like that design. Very good idea...I think I may have to do something similar (I have a HD TV hooked up to my HTPC/EmuPC).
Necro:
Well, I tried altering the codes to no avail. The background color seems to depend on the codec...but all of them are putting the border there, whether or not the keep aspect ratio item is set.
Bloodwyn:
Ya got me now.. I thought you would have the problem licked by changing codecs.
What format are you attract videos in?
Bloodwyn
Necro:
It's the EmuMovies 0.106 set (from cdbrown). I believe all are in divx format.
