Description Dan White 2016-02-12 05:28:53 CST
Fiji with imageJ 1.50e - 64 bit linux PC. 
open bat cochlea sample image
save as AVI, no compression, 7 fps
import of .avi into power point on windows 7 pc,  (office professional plus 2010, 14.0.7165.5000 32 bit) fails with error message
"PowerPoint  cannot insert a video from the selected file. Verify that the necessary codec for this media format is installed, and then try again.

Same process with Fiji / ImageJ1.50b on windows 7 pc works as expected.

Using JPEG compression also fails for version 1.50e, but the movie is imported into powerpoint, but its got a red cross in it and says in it "this image can not currently be displayed"  

apple quicktime is nbot installed on this 
 
So the change from IJ version 1.50b to 1.50e broke it, or its somehow differnt on linux and windows and it's not the  IJ  version change?

Comment 1 Dan White 2016-02-12 05:35:38 CST
not fixed by imageJ 1.50f on linux
works as expected if downgrade to 1.49f using update imageJ menu tool.

Comment 4 Dan White 2016-02-12 05:51:50 CST
imageJ2 2.0.0-rc43 also wont open the bad .avi files, but will open the good ones.
Comment 5 Curtis Rueden 2016-02-12 11:45:16 CST
Does the SCIFIO exporter also produce a bad file?

   File > Export > Image...

Or only the ImageJ 1.x command?

Thanks to Michael Schmid, this v1.50d regression is fixed in the latest ImageJ daily build (1.50g39).
