Mixvibes doesn't play video with Vista

[Lenargir]

Hi,
i have the same problem - i use MixVibes Pro 6.411 and laptop with Vista Home Premium. Everything is ok with Windows Media Player, but when i use MixVibes i can hear audio files but i see no videos. If i load mpeg files, MixVibes reports an error and shuts the programme down.
I tried MixVibes Pro 6.411 with my PC Windows XP - and it works perfectly.
Please advice which codecs i might need to use MixVibes with Vista Home Premium.

look like you have installed some codec on your XP which are not installed on your VISTA.

you need the same codec with XP and Vista, try to install a codec pack (K-Lite codec pack, ACE mega codec pack ...).

I installed “Service Pack 1” for Vista and I installed the latest “K-Lite codec pack”, updated “MixVibes Pro 6.411” to “Producer 7.1” but Mixvibes doesn't play video anyway.
I read at your site that MixVibes Producer should work ok with “Windows Vista + Service Pack 1”.

SO WHY IN MY CASE MIXVIBES Producer REFUSES TO WORK PROPERLY???

Please advice what I am to do:
- perhaps I should upgrade “Vista Home Premium” to “Vista Ultimate”?
- or install some other codecs?
- or perhaps I should not worry and wait for a new version of “MixVibes Producer”?

what kind of video file do you try to play (mpg, divx, avi, ...)?

it is strange that Producer reads your file on XP and cant read it on Vista.

but Mixvibes doesn't play video anyway

What happened ? crash, error message, blue screen ?

I tried avi and mpg

no error message - just no video, sound from video file only

did you move the crossfader in mixvibes to the side that the video is on..????

did you set the video mode in mixvibes preferences to audio + video ????.......remember in video mode you can set to audio , video or audio + video

I switched crossfader off because i use real mixer (ecler)

Yes, i did so.

for the moment, Producer is optimized to play mpeg files (new video engine is coming soon ), try to play other mpeg video files, your mpeg file could have encoding issues.

How are you going to mix the video image together without the crossfader in mixvibes turned on ....your ecler 360 mixer will only do the audio not the video..

good answer

you cant mix your video files without MIDI mixer. You need to plug your mixer into MIDI soundcard, and use MIDI Learning to map your crossfader.
