pix_film always crashed for me on XP when I switch movies in the same pix_film. I consired that bug a fact of life so I created an abstraction that creates a new pix_film for every new movie loaded. Bonus from this method:
- save the list of all the movies you are using for automatic reloading.
- switch between many movies instantly.
Attached is the work in progress. I am not working on this version anymore, another version is in the works (automaticaly reads the movies in a directory and displays them in scrolllist for easy selection).

Hi,
Here it is. This is the message I got while loading 4 films in a row (using 4 different pix_film objects). I believe it doesn't say much more detail. I hope it helps.

Can you post all of the messages printed when you load a film? I also ran into this problem with Quicktime files on Windows, and came up with a 'fix' that stops the crashing by introducing a memory leak. The fact that this happens with AVI indicates the problem might lie outside of the Quicktime code.

Hi,
I was wondering if someone could help me on this one.
I am working with DV encoded AVI films loading them into pix_film. Everytime I load a file I get the message "new movie might crash... ...survived". And indeed loading files is extremely
unstable. PD does
crash aprox 1 out of every 5 times I try to load a film.
Why do I get this message and why does PD crash? Is it
because of the
DV encoding? Does it say this message for every kind of film?
And, since it does crash, how can I work around this
problem so that
PD becomes more stable? I keep loosing my work everytime I
forget to
save before testing. :(
Thanks in advance, Nuno
