Movie Studio with Route Generator

John-Syers wrote on 1/22/2021, 8:15 PM

I have been using MS Platignum 9.0 for many years to record tours encountered. To depict the path of tours the route has been generated using the software facility, Route Generator. There have been some issues in the past with updates in RG but recently the system does not function. Hopefully someone may have the solution.

I am using RG v1.7 with WINDOWS 7. The generated files in the *.bmp format are created and can be loaded into the video string but the *.out file which traces the path of the route is not accepted. I have tried using MS v14 with WINDOWS 10 with no success - also RG v1.9 just released. Can anyone help please.

My finding is that VMS is very picky in what and how the AVI is codeced. only uncompressed is admitted from RG, but this is just as importing the bmp's sq.

I used ffmpeg and not bmp2avi. I will try to tweak more settings, if I find something I'll post here.

** OK, I think I RG1.9 is the answer. (I was testing with 1.8 I had for years)

RG1.9 will let you export as mp4 and this will be fine

Hi FayFen

I have discussed the problem with the developer of Route Generator and he agrees with your suggestions and now I have successfully completed the maps links. Many thanks for your help which has allowed me to continue and also give the developer some feedback on his product.
