I just upgraded to the new version of MAX on a windows 7 machine and now with the default set to VIDDLL as it comes default when I try to use jit.movie it remains yellow or inactive. I also get two errors in the MAX console that read "jit.movie: could not load viddll video engine" and "jit.movie: could not allocate object".

I have uninstalled twice, checked the package manager to see that VIDDLL is installed and it says it is. I have installed ffmpeg as per the instructions on their website. All my drivers are up to date system running good.

i'm not entirely sure what's going on with your install, but it's possible that your version of ffmpeg is conflicting with the version installed by the viddll package. there is no need to install ffmpeg separately.

i would suggest first trying to uninstall the version of ffmpeg you installed. if that doesn't do the trick, please send a message to support so that we can try and track this down.
