I seem to be unable to get video to work in any program. Eg. I have tried "bottles" for VLC, Media Player, CC Community Codec, Quicktime Alternative (each of which have versions of Media Player, and Quicktime.
I have tried fresh bottles in xp and vista and 98.
Media Player, for example, in 98, gives errors like "Cannot open. Please verify that the path and filename are correct and try again. Cannot open. Please verify that the path and filename are correct and try again. (Error=80004005)"
VLC seems to work the best: it runs the file, plays the sound, but the video is black. I have tried mov and mp4 files. I haven't tried other formats. I have tried putting the files in the crossover bottle desktop, and trying to play it from the mac file system. The files I play all play normally on the Mac, and on my windows machine.
I am using an Intel iMac 10,1 running 10.6.8. I am running Crossover version 11.2.
I am not at all adept at mac, so please assume I am a beginner. I understand windows pretty well.
