Walkthrough Playback Not Working In Windows Media Player

Recommended Posts

I just recently installed X6 and one of the things I tried out first was the walkthrough. When I records the walkthrough, I can see it recording in Chief Architect and it looks great. However, when I try to play it back in WMP, all I get is a black screen. I have played other .avi files in WMP and they all work fine. Has anyone else had this problem or does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it. I want to be able to send walkthroughs to clients to help them visualize the project, but I don't want to send bad files that can't be played.

You need to use a different Codec for walkthrough

recordings. The ones Chief supplied OOB didn't

work for me either. XVID is a good one. Google it

and download it (it's free) and then select it in the

Codec Options section in Preferences.

I am having a similar problem, except my AVI file is showing up white. I tried downloading XVID, but that did not solve the problem.

 

I also noticed there there is something strange going on with 3D camera view where the image will render, but will then go blank (white) until the mouse is moved or a key is pressed to change the camera angle.

 

Video card drivers are up to date and support Open GL 3.1.
