Conversion of Avi in Windows not possible

[st.st]

Hello,

in Windows convert 6.5.7-0 is not able to decode an avi file. I looked in linux where this works and saw that there is mplayer used.

So i added in Windows the line

Code: Select all

<delegate decode="avi:decode" stealth="True" command=""mplayer" "%i" -really-quiet -ao null -vo png:z=3"/>

to delegates.xml and it worked (if mplayer is installed and callable).

Is this a bug or is this planed that conversion of avi is not possible in Windows? If it is planed a useful error message would be nice. In the moment convert says:

Code: Select all

No tag found avi:decode @ delegate.c/InvokeDelegates/863

At all: I saw that in windows only ffmpeg and not mplayer is shipped with imagemagick. I didn't look now, but i think that ffmpeg should also be able to convert video to png?

Thanks
Stefan
