I bought my girlfriend a Logitech webcam for Christmas. When she emailed a
video created with the camera to her secretary, secretary's Outlook called
MediaPlayer to run the file, but only the audio portion worked. When I
copied it to a local folder, it worked the same way. I updated from
MediaPlayer 9 to 10, which didn't help, but then found some codecs which
did.
Now, when I copy the .avi file to a local folder and run it, MediaPlayer
loads and plays it correctly, audio and video both. But when I click the
attachment icon in the Outlook pane, it still plays only the audio portion.
Outlook is loading and executing the updated (10) version of MediaPlayer, I
checked that, but the codec fix which allows it to play correctly from a
local folder doesn't seem to have 'taken' when called from Outlook instead
of directly.
This webcam is not going to be very useful if every recipient has these kind
of problems. Any ideas? Secretary is running WinXP, SP2, Office 2K.
