Sound problems

[austie333]

Hi Folks, I need your help.

I have designed a database to study Chinese and now want to include sounds.

To test for sound, I created a container field, clicked on this in brouse mode, and selected insert from Quicktime [which I have just bought]. The sound appears OK and there is the playback bar at bottom of container field, and when I click on play the sound is played. It plays fine for a while. But whether I do this on laptop with vista or desktop with XP, fairly soon everthing crashes and I cannot open the file again. The sound I am testing is fairly large, but it would have to be under the limit of 4gb's. I have tried different formats, the latest WAV.

Can anyone shed any light on what I am doing wrong?

Your help would be truly appreciated. I used FMP3 years ago then moved to Access as I wanted to work with Chinese; more recently I have worked with FMP8 but because of Vista issues have upgraded to FMP9 Advanced.

As an update to this issue. I have come across the same problem, others have too. see http://barefootguru.blogspot.com/2007/05/filemakerquicktimewindowsargh.html

I have yet to find a fix. Attempting to play Quicktime audio via a filemaker container on a PC crashes Filemaker. (using FMPA 9.0v3). I will update if I hear anything back from filemaker.
