Remarks

The video element determines how video files are selected on each trial (e.g. randomly, in sequence, etc.) and how those items should be presented. Inquisit can display a variety of different streaming formats, including asf, vod, mpeg-1, mpeg-2, mpeg-3, mpeg-4, avi, midi, mov, wav, snd, au, and aiff, animated gifs, and Adobe Flash animations. Note that not all video file containers and codecs are supported on all platforms. To present videos that will work on both Mac and Windows, use mpg file containers with the MPEG2 codec format, or use conditional include elements to select *.wmv versions of your videos on Windows and *.mov versions for Mac.

Examples

The following randomly selects from 3 video files and displays the video on the upper left quadrant of the screen. Responding is not permitted until the video clip is finished.

<video tvshows>
/ items = ("desparatehousewives.mpg", "thedailyshow.avi", "southpark.wmv")
/ playthrough = true
/ position = (25, 25)
