Briefly, the video is 3:03 minutes and currently in .avi format. Below is the code. Any suggestions? <trialContVideo> /stimulustimes= [1=ContVideo] /timeout=20000 </trial> <VideoContVideo> /items =("Videos/ContVideo.avi") /playthrough= true /size =(2000,2000) / position= (25, 25) </video>

Briefly, the video is 3:03 minutes and currently in .avi format. Below is the code. Any suggestions? <trialContVideo> /stimulustimes= [1=ContVideo] /timeout=20000 </trial> <VideoContVideo> /items =("Videos/ContVideo.avi") /playthrough= true /size =(2000,2000) / position= (25, 25) </video> Offhand, the /size specification in the <video> element seems off / might cause problems. If you don't specify a unit (e.g. pixels -- px, millimeters -- mm, etc.), Inquisit will treat the values as percentages. Your video would be sized far larger than the visible screen area with /size =(2000,2000) i. e. this is equivalent to /size = (2000%, 2000%) If you mean to define the size in pixels, specify /size = (2000px, 2000px) It is also possible that the video doesn't play properly because the system doesn't have a suitable codec available to render the file (the extension -- avi -- in and of itself means little, AVI is a container format, i.e. the video and audio streams can be encoded in any number of different video and audio codecs).
