importFileInto converts AVI to QT!

[C Goodman]

Howdy,
Even after implementing a Technote regarding my exact issue, I am still
having a problem.

I am using new() and importfileinto to dynamically load an AVI into a cast
member.

If I manually import using the standard Cast--> Import, it will import and
play correctly as an AVI

Another clue: just executing the new() statement as below WILL create a
blank digitalvideo castmember, but once the importfileinto executes, it is
changes to a Quicktime!

I know one solution would be to try and convert my AVIs to QT, but I don;t
have that software, and would rather solve this!

Any Ideas?
Chris
new(#digitalvideo, member 101)

importFileInto member 101, "@/media/video/" & thisvideo

member(101).filename = "@/media/video/" & thisvideo

What about using new() to create the cast member and then setting it's file
path to that of your AVI?

That was what the Technote suggested, and I'm suprised that it didn't solve
it! As below, when I execute the new() command, it does make a blank
digitalvideo(avi) member, but as soon as I load the actual avi into the
member, it switches to QT! Darn!

What I meant was to only set the filepath, so it would look like this: (take
out the importFileInto line)

new(#digitalvideo, member 101)
member(101).filename = "@/media/video/" & thisvideo

I tested this and it does work on my PC using Director MX. Take note that
you will have to set some properties of the member like DTS and audio to get
it running 100%.

Thank you very much! That works great and now my app will accept both QT and
AVI with that same code....
