[the fall guy]

Many thanx for the quick response midget and horseman, but somehow the myriads of avi-players I downloaded (including the ones you mentioned) either don't work or don't even install properly on my sh*** computer :mad:

But I found a workaround that might help others with similar problems: I use the rad video tools to convert the replays to .smk or .bik files and can finally have a look at them...

Me again!

I finally found the cause for the playback-problems:
After trying zillions of stupid things I noticed by chance that the replay files use 24bit colors. After changing the display color depth from 16 to 32 bit everything worked fine.

Shame upon me for being such a lamer, but maybe the dosbox guys should add that to the zmbv-readme. I had never thought of that for all the old games use an 8-bit palette anyway...
