Hi,

Here's what I do to any video I want to use in pd:

mencoder $1 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mjpeg:vpass=1 -oac pcm -o $1_pd.avi
ffmpeg -i $1_pd.avi -ar 44100 $1_pd.wav

the second line extracts the audio into a separate wav file.
has always worked for me so far...

gr,
Tim

Actually it is not just .avi files that make pd crash, maybe it is the
mjpeg codec?

This is an example of a file that crashes pd

http://www.archive.org/download/ANALOG_RECYCLING_VJ_LOOPS/AR_ARROW_3.mov

I just tried on Pd version 0.42-5extended-20101206

Anny ideas?

I miss playing videos with pd.
