Thanks very much, we'll give that a try!

Dear Jim,

Back in April I got QuickTime to work in Windows, but I haven't made an
"official" release since then, partly because I haven't tested the new
QuickTime code with Mac OS X. (I'm getting my first Intel Mac soon, so,
with Parallels and/or Boot Camp, I should have much lower activation
energy for testing on Windows, Mac OS X, and linux very soon now. 99% of the time I'm in front of a computer, it's running Ubuntu linux these days.)

You can download the "bleeding edge" Windows release, with working
QuickTime from:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php? group_id=40846&package_id=73479&release_id=138543

Hi, all

I tried quicktime as suggested, but can't get it to work in Windows.
So I'm back to the original question:

We need to play movies during an experiment on a machine running

pygame.movie doesn't currently work under Windows. The pygame.movie
page (http://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/movie.html) refers to pymedia
(http://www.pymedia.org/) as a potential solution.

My question: before we invest time in this route, has anyone tried
pymedia with visionegg, or found another solution? Any advice would
be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

jim
