I tried running it with a low res 400x300 clip and it still did the same thing. I am trying to get a game going using an FTIR setup. Here is a reference:pix_mutiblob is way to slow, I cant get gridflow compiled, and pidip is not working currently on the extended version. Is there another option to do functional multitracking on a mac with pure data? I really cant fork over the dough for max/msp/jitter, but there is a free jitter plugin called cv.jit that looks great:
Is there a posibility that anyone will port this over to PD I wonder?

I ran the pix_multiblob example on the same 640x480 clip on CoreDuo, G5 and Xeon CPUs at 2 Ghz and it destroys all of those processors. I guess it was designed to work on really low resolutions since none of the current CPUs can handle full sized standard def video as the code is written.
If the code could be written without the numerous function calls and int to float to int conversions in the processing loop it would be much faster.

apreciate it. BTW I dont know any C or C+ but I am willing to give it a go.
