Writer creates no file.. driving me weird

vvvv beta general
1

hey folks,

one more thing about the 4v mysteria!
i´d like to create an automatic video generation as a sum of my older patches and i think i get all the stuff working fine. (getting images, randomizing picture order, random transformation ** here another question won´t be droppable, but later **)

now my real big problem is, that the Writer node ( i need to do an avi file ) won´t behave accurately everytime i use it! wtf !!!

it does not write a previously selected avi file (for example “test1.avi” in E:vvvv… i hit the “record” input to a 1 and i do some fancy stuff but there´s no file in this location. i was facing problems of this style as soon as i started 4v explorations… the best videos (i thought would have been recorded) went to nowhere…

is this a known bug or do i need to place a file dummy in windows or what? i already have admin rights, and i don´t believe that´s the matter.

had the same problem. actually vvvv wrote the file but immediately after recording deleted it again. don’t know, if that’s a general bug, don’t think so.
i ended up in using a screenrecorder…

this is not acceptable for me. and i know i created avi files just by setting the record=1, but it must happen everytime, not only now and then…

thx for fast response anyway

I just found out that no matter what the file is being stored in root folder c:\

yes, indeed, the writer does what it is told if you select C:
but in some case the user wants to store the video in some other location, what then?
is this v4 specific? gg

~edit
just found out it depends on lower letter path if the writer does it´s work.
