Active Movie Error

[rhartell]

I copied over the movies to the game directory, may try a video folder, not sure there, I also changed my default morrowind.ini file to a tweaked out file. I may have to re-install the game, which really shouldnt be thatmuch of a pain, but Im sick of the movies coming up :-| Will update this when I play next.

 

Thanks,

Finally, I found the error, it was on http://support.bethsoft.com/ 's website. Here is a cut form the website:

Q: I am getting an Active Movie error message in Morrowind.

A: This error is usually caused by a CODEC such as VoSub, ELECARD MPEG 2 Video Decoder, Mega Codec Pac, or others attempting to access the video portions of Morrowind. Uninstall any of these third party CODECs to correct the issue.

Note: If after uninstalling one of these CODECs Morrowind crashes at launch, you may need to reinstall the MP3 portion of the CODEC only.

 

I went into the DirectX VobConfigure and changed it to "never load" instead of always load. If that doesnt work I will simply remove the files excluding the Mp3 portion of the Codec. The program that is causing this I installed is called MegaCodecPack.

 

I hope this works,

Final Note:

Disabling it in the config file of VobConfig did not work, so instead of uninstalling the whole pack, I went into the directory and rarchived 3 files so they would not work unless I unrarchive them, this way I can still watch movies or whatever regularly as needed when it calls on these files without uninstalling, and dont have to deal with the active movie screen popping up in Morrowind anymore.

 

Thanks,

Glad you got that one sorted out :)

 

It was definitely one of the weirder Morrowind problems I'd heard of...
