same here (pd 0.37.3, GEM 0.90.1, WinXP) I can use only avi compressed with: uncompressed RGB (huge filesize) codec Intel IYUV (smaller but still great filesize) and another I can't remember now (small filesize but eats cpu: max 2 avis with a PIV 1.5 GHz)

Hi,
I'm trying to load an .AVI file in a Gem window and the play it a different frame rates. This should be simple but the only movies that seem to work are the ones that came bundled with the GEM examples.
I have updated to gem_0.90.1 (03/08/2004), although when I load Gem it still says version 0.90.0; I'm sure I've put it in the correct directory. I am running pd.037, on Win2K, I have an Indeo codec v5.10 so that shouldn't cause any problems. I have also tried with pd.038, and with WinXP - the same problem keeps happening: the file loads (according to the "verbose" option) then when I turn the rendering on pd crashes. The errors seem to be memory allocation errors - they don't appear when I run pd with the "verbose" option.
I hope someone can help me because I've pretty much exhausted all the solutions I've found in the archives.
Yasmin.
