hi,

i was just sitting in front of the machine (minimac)
and watching the pd processes while my
friends app is running.

Intel or G4 Mini?

the memory use increases about a rate of 1MB per minute.

her movie codec
is: integer(big endian), animation.
she took this as a choice to get the
the alpha channel - did you test this as well ?
audio: linear pcm 44.100

I have used Animation recently (on Intel in fact) and did not see such a leak.

can you recommend a codec with alpha were
you had no problems ?
if we get the same results then we can at least rule out the codecs.

Animation is probably the best choice when a pre rendered alpha is needed.

maybe there is a leak somewhere else,
she is using additionally:

text2d

This is a possible culprit as it is part of a lib we do not write ourselves.

pix_alpha

There is no memory allocation in this object.
