Problems with Movie2Serial

[dirkblaze]

have tried to get this working many time. Using your code "practically verbatim" - only changing the name of the input video file - we get these errors every time:

... 15 more

Please advise!!! Have tried various parameters (screen height, width etc) and various video files.
Always the same result, seems to be generated but the "image2data" procedure, tho I'm not absolutely positive.

In debug all the variables seem ok - then it blows up!!!

Please help!!!

Aha! That looks like the last point in my code before things go sideways.

There must be more than a simple change. line 193 is not even in image2data(), which goes from lines 150 to 172. Somehow you've gained 20 lines, minimum.

I've tried several different versions of Movie2Serial including yours verbatim. They all blow up like this. I will run it again with yours.
