When making film loops, XMS may display the following error message:
"Could not create movie. A required dependency may be missing. See xmswiki.com/wiki/Media_Feature_Pack"
This message usually means XMS is running on an edition of Windows which does not include media features. The issue can be fixed by installing a free optional Windows feature.

The following steps will help you find out if you need the extra feature.
- Right click on the Windows Start Menu button and click "System".
- Under the "Windows specifications" heading, look for "Edition".
- If your edition ends in N or NK, you will need the Media Feature Pack to generate film loops.
- Example: "Windows 10 Pro" does not need the Media Feature Pack. "Windows 10 Pro N" does. So does "Windows 10 Pro NK".
