Could also be a bad cable. It is amazing how those "cheap" little cables are going bad. What kind of cable are you running by the way

I may be wrong but in the second picture isn't the button at the lower right corner of the preview window a mute button. I could be wrong do not have MS here.

I don't use midis to control lighting but the midis do play from a cue in on my computer with W7 64 bit, – james horsley, on December 13, 2009 23:51

james horsley replied on December 09, 2009 21:21 to the question "How to upgrade from a laptop to a desktop, and possibly from V3 to V4" in MediaComplete:

To hopefully answer a couple of questions. I have run version 3.5 on Windows 7 with no issues but it is not supported. I don't think. I would download the trial of verision 4 and try it. It can be run on the same machine as version 3 just not at the same time. There is a lot of differences between 3 and 4 especially on the editing end that will take some getting used to. Again download and try the trial.

james horsley replied on December 06, 2009 21:35 to the question "Looping & PPT Questions with MS4.4 b137, Win7ProX64" in MediaComplete:

I played through these in Windows 7 64 bit and had some of the same or similar issues.
1. If I place one video in the script and set the script to loop it only plays 1/2 of the video and loops. No matter what format or length

2. I have the exact same issue in that the preview has to be stopped to restart

3. This will not really help because I am using the beta of Powerpoint 2010 and it flies into MS. I used to have a lag in Powerpoint in 2007 but not as bad as you have. The resolution matching speeded it up but never seemed to completely correct it in Windows 7

4. Same issue with control and Powerpoint that Mike has. Looks more and more like Windows 7 issiues

james horsley shared an idea in MediaComplete on December 04, 2009 20:03:

Beta Powerpoint 2010

I have been playing with Powerpoints new beta and it seems to work very well so far with Media Shout 4. Some good improvements to the program and see no lag when starting it in MS. It is a beta however so make sure if you use it you don't use it on your production computer. You have to uninstall the old PPT to install it.

james horsley replied on December 04, 2009 11:49 to the question "How do I roll back a build in v4" in MediaComplete:

When I uninstalled a few weeks ago it uninstalled it all. That is why I keep all my media seperate from the program. That may not be what MS intended but I think I was on the build before 131, whatever that was.

A comment on the question "Why won't my loops load?" in MediaComplete:

Also make sure that you enable mpegs 2 in Klite coded.Also in the start menu under Klite codec there is a windows 7 tweak tool you may need to change some that are set to Microsoft defaults to a different setting. – james horsley, on December 01, 2009 22:23

A comment on the question "FAQ: Will MediaShout work with Windows 7?" in MediaComplete:

That is great William. Glad I could help a little bit. The windows 7 codec tweaker seems to be almost unknown to mosst tech folks even and I found it by accident. I have been really impressed with MS4 with 64 bit windows 7. – james horsley, on November 29, 2009 19:01

james horsley replied on November 28, 2009 23:11 to the question "Graphics help/confusion" in MediaComplete:

As a pastor I would like to disagree with a couple of John's reply. The pastor is not the boss but like everyone else in the church has special talents that God has given him to fulfill his ministry in the church. God has also given the tech people their special abilities and talents that should be used to strenghten all the ministries of that congregation. I believe God expects us to communicate with each other to blend these talents to further His kingdom, It seems that there are issues here that need to be worked out so that these issues do not simmer into bigger issues. Maybe there is a reason that the pastor wants one image and that is fine if that reason has been bathed in prayer and not just what the pastor wants.Pastor's I hate to say come and go more than the volunteers in the tech booth. It would probably be better Jason and his pastor and worship leader set down and hash out the way to make worship better in their church because there is no right way that fits every church and the way that the preacher did it in his last church may noot be right for this one.

No, and the folks at Pro Presenter do not seem to have any desire to make one at the moment.

A comment on the question "FAQ: Will MediaShout work with Windows 7?" in MediaComplete:

Willian
I jusst found this. Go to all programs and to klite codec . Under tools there is actually a klite filter tweaker for version 7. I changed some of the codecs in the 32 bit part and still had the MP4 proble. I then disabled the microsoft codecs under the 64 bit filters and now MP4s work, Maybe this will help. Also all my mpegs work. Ot says that Windows Media will not play correctly if I make these changes but so far eveything there seems to work also. Hope this helps and have a great thanksgiving – james horsley, on November 26, 2009 13:09

I googled the error message and it seems to be a problem with Vista and the decoder for you dvd player. The only suggestion I saw was to install the Vista codec pack. I guess that you are running Vista

A comment on the question "7 power point and video" in MediaComplete:

In 64 bit Windows 7 I cannot load mp4s also. Codecs and drivers are all up to date. Powerpoint works fine though – james horsley, on November 23, 2009 21:24
