Windows 98 and Director 8.5 usage #2

Closed goodolvic closed 1 year ago

goodolvic commented 2 years ago

I'm attempting to open a DCR using Director 8.5 within Windows 98 (VM) specifically. The Movie Restorer.x32 file is located within C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Director 8.5\Xtras.

When I go to the Xtras menu in Director, Movie Restorer isn't available. Is there anything special I may need to do to get it to appear? I have verified this setup works in Windows 7/Director MX 2004, so I'm wondering if it doesn't cooperate with such an old version of Windows.

It is Director 8.5 compatible, however the oldest supported Windows version is Windows XP. You could install Director 8.5 on a newer Windows version, use Movie Restorer to save the movie, and then open the movie on Windows 98 if that is a requirement.
