Question

Hi all
I wrote a short program that displays an avi file. I need the program to get input from the keyboard while the movie is running (and not after it ends):
this is my code:

figure(‘MenuBar’,’none’)
set(gcf,’Color’, ‘white’)
set(gca,’Color’,’white’);
set(gca,’XColor’,’white’);
set(gca,’YColor’,’white’);
m=aviread(‘c:/t1.avi’)
a=30:1:100;
b=100:-1:30;
c=[a b a b a b a b a b] %to run the movie back and forth
movie(m,c) %runs the movie

Thank you for any help
Ariel

Answer 1

the solution is to use winopen(‘c:/filename.avi’)

winopen(‘c:/filename.avi’)
this command opens media player and runs following commands in the matlab script. it doesn’t wait for the movie to end. it runs in the background.
thanks every one
