No graphics using CDG to MPEG converter

[kj-mac]

Am I missing something? I am using the trial version of the CDG to MPEG converter (will buy if I can get it to work). I have used the exact same options as shown in the examples, I get sound, yet I can't get any graphics to show up. The BIN files play just fine off of my hard drive in PowerKaraoke Player, yet if I try to play the MPEG file in either PK Player or Windows Media Player, I get only sound. Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Ron

Please try updating your DirectX to the latest version. If this does not help please post back.

I actually had DirectX 9 already installed, but I went ahead and installed the latest updates, rebooted, and same result. I actually tried to run this software about a year ago and had a similar problem. A friend was able to run it on his computer, but it wouldn't work on mine for some reason. The only other thing I can think of is that maybe its conflicting with some codec I have installed, or perhaps there's a codec I should have installed but don't?

I think this has something to do with the codecs installed. We will prepare a new version that will generate a detailed log file so I will be able to find out what is wrong. It should be ready around Wednesday.

Well, I'm now getting video on some files but not all. In order to get the video portion on some files, I uninstalled my ACE Mega Codec Pack. There must be some sort of compatibility issues between ACE and PowerKaraoke. Now if I could just figure out how to get the other half to work. I'll keep playing and let you know if I discover anything else.
