Error when I try loading a QT file

[Grant]

Up until recently I have only used CCE (SP 2.66) for encoding AVI files but last week i tried loading a QT file and was confronted with the following error message:

GdpLoadImageFromFile failed:3

It makes no difference what type of QT file it is (including ones I
export myself from Storm Edit). I have quicktime 6 installed of course and the strange thing is that CCE recognises the file as a QT but when you actually go the last step and try and load it it gives the error message.

It must be just me because after searching this and other forums I can't find anyone else with the same problem. Any suggestions?

Sounds like GDI+ is not installed. It's in XP but for earlier OSes, you need to install it separately. It's available somewhere at the MS site.

Thanks for the reply. CCE support eventually replied and provided me with a "mov.reg" file that self installed to the registry. CCE now imports QT files as it should.

Grant, I don't know if you check in much, but if you do, please paste in the mov.reg (it is just a text file)

I just downloaded the GDI+ .dll from the MS site, but Im not sure where it goes. Can anyone help?
Ive got a quicktime movie to encode, and if I try & use Avisynth, I just get an error saying that 726 x 76 size isnt supported. (!!!)
I tried encoding in TMPGENc ant its worked-to a degree, but it's all skippy in playback. I'd much rather use CCE.
BTW, what was the mov.reg file anyway, does anyone have that??

That error is always shown when you have an error in your script. It is good practice to always play your script in WMP or VDub before attempting an encode. The error appears because the red on black error screen generated by Avisynth is that size. Also, search in the NLE forum for quicktime. I put up an example of how to use the VFAPI QT plugin. It may help you.
