(720x480 at 29.97 FPS, if you live in the USA.)ĭo you have any video files that do work with Easy Worship? If so, try using that format. We know that the projector can display a standard resolution DVD, so it should be able to play a DVD compatible MPEG-2 file. If you run into the same problem of the video showing-up on the monitor, but not on the projector screen, then it could be a limitation of the projector/driver and you need to investigate its format requirements.

You can check that by playing the same file with Windows Media Player (or other player software). The video driver normally takes care of any required conversion, but I suppose that's a possibility. Maybe the projector can't handle the particular resolution or framerate. I wonder if it's the projector or it's driver. The CODEC doesn't 'know' what the application is doing with the data. Once it's decoded, it's up to the application and operating system (and driver, etc.) to display it. Obviously, it's getting decompressed OK, since you can see it in preview. It's been suggested that perhaps the 'Ulead mpeg codec' that made the mpg video in VS12 may not support secondary outputs.Weird!!! If the CODEC/format works in preview, it should work with the main output too! The CODECs job is just to encode (compress) and decode (decompress) the file. It plays as expected in the preview window, but when sent 'Live' it does not project to the screen. This software has a 'Preview' window and also a 'Live' section where the video is sent to the projector. These setting work every time for me.Īs always try it out before Sunday service if at all possible. Under Media type select MPEG 1, slide the quality to 100%, lower the video data rate to something less than 4000 kbps. Select Custom under Create Video File, then options, then select the Compression tab.

I took a quick look at 3 of the videos that came with the trial version of Easy Worship that I have. I know that MPEG 1 is not as good a quality as MPEG 2 but I have found that it is a fine choice for our projector which has a resolution of only 800 x 600. But when I attempt to play on a secondary monitor (projector) I'll get sound only with only black being projected.

Much more often than not when I attempt to play anything other then these 2 file types, it will play fine in the media player, it will play fine in the slideshow as long as the show is being played on the main monitor. When I want to play a video through PowerPoint I have found that I have the best results when I use a video that has been converted to MPEG 1 or uncompressed AVI. I have played with Easy Worship & plan on going that way when the finances are right. Not using Easy Worship at our church, still on Powerpoint.
