Hey all...
I recently uploaded an animation which I made from movie2avi, and then converted it to an .mpeg...

http://www-rohan.sdsu.edu/~palexand/2d/

You can see, though, that the video is blank both before and after playing (the playback is fine otherwise). I would like to see the last frame remain visible after playback. Does anyone know how to do this? I'm having the same issue with the file regardless of whether or not it is .avi or .mpeg format. Thanks!

Some movie file formats support displaying frames for specific length of
times. I think that functionality might perhaps be accessible through the
2010a new AVI objects.

However, if you were to use that mechanism, then no matter how long the time
you specified, the display of the final frame would still be _part_ of the
playback, and would thus not be in accordance with the requirement that the
final frame continue to be visible _after_ playback. For a frame to be visible
_after_ playback, logically it must be displayed by some other mechanism than
the playback, such as by reading the {decoded} frame individually and
image()'ing it onto an axis.

But I have seen many other .avi files that do NOT have this issue... they are visible both before and after playback. In fact, in the link posted above, when I play it in my compression software, it works perfectly. Anyone have other thoughts? Thank very much.
