The size of the movie on disk should be irrelevant. It can be two frames or twenty hours long and it makes no difference since only one frame is used at a time.
pix_film/movie on OSX has worked well over an incalculable amount of testing.
while working for a installation setup, we're using a quicktime movie (.mov) with an mjpeg encoded video stream with Gem/[pix_film], that ships with current stable pd-extended, on an ubuntu hardy machine and we hadn't experienced a crash in the video part yet.
i don't know, if and how much it matters, but i would try different formats/codecs. i guess, that interframe based (xvid/h264/mpeg4|2) codecs should be avoided and intraframe based codecs (jpeg/mjpg/dv) are recommended. the quicktime format seems to run well on all platforms (you need to have quicktime installed on windows and libquicktime on linux)

I need to play some video files (~700mb) in a theatre setting, which demands stability. Till now ive used pix_film, but there has been some crashes at seemingly random times when loading the files. Im wondering if there are any precautions or desired objects to use (pix_film, pix_movie, pdp, ...) that are more more stable? Also, is any object more efficient for dealing with larger files? cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
