Hi all,
just a quick question: I have some older compiled Hollywood executables, which do contain videos. My new Windows 10 System says:
"tempnamesomething.mov not recognized as a video stream"
1) What is wrong? Missing codec? Where to get it from?
2) If so, is there any possibility to include needed codes for my presentation? Maybe with a newer Hollywoodversion?
Thanks for infos.

Re: ....mov not recognized as a video stream
Do you have the avcodec.hwp plugin installed on Windows? If this isn't installed, Hollywood will only support codecs supported by DirectShow which .MOV isn't AFAIR.
Re: ....mov not recognized as a video stream
Thanx, for the infos... however I did not install the avcoded.hwp. It wasn't installed on my XP machine neither? As far as I understood, the plugin should be in the same dir as my #?.exe (in this case *.exe ) file? Did that, but still got the same error message - maybe it is a Win 10/64bit problem?

The plugins under Windows must copyed join the executable. Under Amiga there are two options install the plugins or join the program but the plugins the version of your Amiga system.

That's what I did! "The plugin under Windows should be copied into the same Directory as the executable" (@Carlos: That was what you wanted to say, wasn't it?)The plugins under Windows must copyed join the executable

Ok, I think I know what's wrong here. Your executables were probably compiled with Hollywood 5.0 which doesn't have a platform-independent video renderer but only the Amiga video renderer supports plugins on Hollywood 5.0. That's why avcodec.hwp is completely ignored on Windows. You need to upgrade to a newer Hollywood version, at least Hollywood 5.2 but Hollywood 6.0 is of course better.
Re: ....mov not recognized as a video stream
Does it work, if I install any additional 3rd party software/library on Win10 e.g. ffmpg or similar? Nevertheless HW 6 will be purchased for my next project anyway

No, installing FFMPEG won't help since this isn't compatible to DirectShow. Maybe there's a MOV codec for DirectShow somewhere, then it might work. But the best idea really is to use a newer Hollywood version
