Jit.movie doesn't work on 7.0.5 64 bit (windows)

Hello everybody,

Reading a movie (.mov) with jit.movie and jit.qt.movie don't work on 64 bit, but reading a .jpg works
Vizzie player doesn't work too

Reading a movie with jit.movie works on 32 bit, but I prefer using 64 bit

What I can do to solve my problem.
Thank you

Hi ICARART

The object itself works fine, but... "The jit.movie object on Windows x64 is currently limited to DirectShow-supported movie files" (https://docs.cycling74.com/max7/vignettes/max_64_limitations). Try containers such as: .wmv or .mp4.

Thank you Yaniki ! it works fine with wmv. (But not with mp4...)

Interesting. I'm on mac, and I can't check it now - but this is an issue related probably to... my false belief... I was convinced that DirectShow can read MP4 too. Sorry for misleading.

Ok, no problemo...
for my usage of the video player, I just have to convert in the format who's working.
Thanks
