Calling videos in turing 4.1

-----------------------------------

I want to know how to call up videos in my Turing program  :?

Turing doesnt support that, I don't think

Turing has no built-in support for video files, and is probably too slow, even with modern computers, to display video at reasonable quality (assuming you were to write the video-handling bits yourself).

You could use [url=http://compsci.ca/holtsoft/doc/sys_exec.html]Sys.Exec to call up the default video player for a given movie file, but it won't be under the control of your Turing program.

Although calling the default video player shouldn't be too much of an issue I think. You could even make a batch file that will open up the video file with a specific player, that is called by sys.exec

like we said.... you can use Sys.Exec to run some media player that will play the video.
