I don't have an option for 4k. Have you rebooted your PC since installing it because I haven't?


Nope, it doesn't say 4K just 3840×2160.

What video card do you have? That may be the thing, CUDA enabled start about at my GTX750. If the video card doesn't support it, maybe Muvizu blocks the option.

That sounds likely. I have the Radeon HD7770

You can see it glitched out at one point but I think that was just me messing around with my computer while it was trying to render.

Something is wrong with your process, the video isn't 360, just fisheyed. The MZ demo lets you look around from the center where the camera is located.

Edit: if I launch it in YouTube directly it works.

Try it on the youtube site; the embedded video in the forum is using the old flash version of youtube.

The same as normal size/shape video. That's why they're so pixelated because they're using the same number of pixels for a much wider area.

Posts: 51 		@braj People refer to 3840X2160 as 4K, but the
proper label to give it, is UHD and 4096X2160 is true DCI 4K

Yeah, I know, I was saying that perhaps he was looking for 4k and didn't know the dimensions. It isn't listed as UDH or 4k.

No issues with install on Windows 7 with Nvidia GeForce GT 620.


Tested :

Talk-Shush records correctly, can be moved on timeline and saved and reloaded
Rearranging character movements creating teleports which were resulting in regular crashes before, now works and can be saved and reloaded
Head movements save and reload
Old unloadable sets now load (nothing to complex in my archives...)
MP4 default settings worked for short video and lip sync looked good on short clip
Chinese Tree 1 is loading successfully

All of above worked smoothly for me.

Minor Bug?

If you set the initial dialogue state to Shush it seems to be ignored and a Talk is always entered at the start of the timeline. Simple workaround to record another talk (to toggle the buttons) and a shush at the start and then delete the extra talk from the timeline and all seems to be good.

Posts: 51 		Found another bug(for me at least) old .avi's that worked as textures before don't seem to work anymore.
Anyone else find this problem?

Thanks!

Posts: 164 		Hi,

Just a few things about this release.

  • The 4K is available on windows 8 or above and only on the 64 bit version. Your mileage may vary when using it as it is really down to the power and memory of your graphics card. Older cards probably won't work.
  • The issue in MrMuviz's post with the video playback will be a codec issue. These are generally a nightmare to figure out and are pretty much out of our hands. Jamie had something similar at one point in testing but uninstalling or re-installing some codecs fixed it, I think.
  • The build now targets Windows 7. It may work in Vista, but will almost certainly not work in XP.

Fazz, were you doing anything in particular when you got that crash or was it just starting up? If you haven't already, it's probably worth uninstalling it completely - and then re-installing it.

It just seems weird that it worked yesterday with v1.6 but today with v1.7 the .avi doesn't work
...and a side note, the same .avi still works in version 1.6....wouldn't that make
it an issue with the new 1.7 version, and not what video codec it is?
Nevermind that it's a low rez video, I use it just for sync.

The answer to that is both yes and no.

The mechanism used to play videos is different, it's no longer using DirectShow, but is using Microsoft Media Foundation instead (if that means anything to you.) This started to be introduced in Windows Vista as a replacement for DirectShow.


We switched as it seems to be the way forward for creating and playing back video, and we had a few reports of people having issues with video playback not working. (eg: http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic4959-avi-video-not-playing-in-backdrops.aspx, http://www.muvizu.com/forum/topic5435-tech-help.aspx) And we'd seen the problem on a few machines internally too.


Looking through the bug report, Jamie uninstalled K-Lite and installed XVid as a standalone codec - then all worked as expected. I assume the video he had was using xvid or some other mp4 style codec.
As I said in my earlier post codec things are a nightmare and are hard to figure out, but I am fairly certain that's what it is.

done that... done every combination there is. update install, full install, lite install, ticked boxes, unticked boxes, completely removed all trace and clean installed etc etc etc it gets to the muvizu splash screen then....


everything is working fine on my system, all drivers are up to date. system is more than capable of running muvizu. it just doesnt want to work.

Posts: 51 		@mcmillan-ra Thanks for the update, Xvid works great with this release.
Any chance you could share what settings to use to get a transparency with Xvid.


Thanks again.
PS Glad to see the staff getting in on conversations in the forum.
