Audio Is Heard But Video Is Not Displayed in ActiveMovie

• Microsoft Windows 98
• Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 4.0, 4.01 for Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to view a video file using ActiveMovie 2.0, you may hear audio and the progress indicator may move indicating that the video is being played, but the video may not be displayed.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur if you maximize the ActiveMovie window while the video file is being loaded.

RESOLUTION

To prevent this behavior from occurring, wait for video file to be completely loaded before you maximize the ActiveMovie window.

To work around this behavior if the ActiveMovie window is currently maximized, click the Restore button (the middle button in the upper-right corner of the ActiveMovie window), and then maximize the window once the video file is completely loaded and the video starts playing.

MORE INFORMATION

In ActiveMovie 1.0, the maximize button remains unavailable until the video file is completely loaded.
