Unable to initialize compressor
-
I get the following when I try to export an .avi animation file. Do I need a plugin? SuAnimate?
-
bit of a stab in the dark, but im guessing sometihngs wrong with your codec.
try installing k-lite codec pack full: http://www.codecguide.com/

I got an IT mgr involved, he downloaded/installed the codec and that didn't fix it. He also found evidence this is a new bug to Pro7. Read here: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16492. Have any of you guys seen this before?
-
I hate to trouble anyone out there, but does anyone have a sec to test whether their SU ver 7 will export an .avi file properly?
-
Are you on linux then?
I tested a quick general file, which exported fine. Is their a specific file youd like me to try? send us a PM and i'll give it a go if that is the case.

Thanks for your time. It's working for you--I wonder about the person who posted it as a bug at the link I included above?
I just created a new little test model, created scenes and tried the export again with the same results. Yes I am sitting in front of a Linux machine, but SU is running on a Windows PC somewhere else and coming to me over a network via a "Citrix" emulator/server (beyond that description I will have to bring in the IT guys). I don't know what you mean by a "PM". Do you think if I sent you a small .skp file you might have a different result?

Our moderator remus has helped me considerably today and I wish to thank him for all his trouble and his insights. Just another of the many fine people I've come into contact with at this forum site. You guys make learning SU fun. Well, it's fun to learn anyway, but you guys make it even better!

Just to conclude this thread or my contribution to it, my problem appeared to be related somehow to using SU through a Linux machine that is remotely controlling a Windows PC where the instance of SU is installed and running. Not sure I said that right, but you probably understand. The system we use to provide Windows on a Linux desktop is Citrix, which I understand is not really a Windows emulator but actually a remote control of the distant Windows pc. However I also understand the same sort of problems with exporting animations happens with the Windows emulator Wine (I think it's an emulator), as reported in the link a few posts above.
If this thread would fit better somewhere other than Newbie, then feel free to refile it.
