Yes, I use it all the time.
But then, I have a synchronization problem : v33.readvf is based on the frame rate for its playback speed. As the frame rate changes according to the amount of effects you put together (!!!), I cannot get a sync between 2 films on 2 different computers. Therefore, I am working on changing v33.readvf's frame rate control for a UDP broadcasted bang, with a spigot to play/pause the film. Should be pretty easy.
Thomas, while you are here, I was wondering if you used dynamic patching in this abstraction because opening many films with the same instance of pix_film caused you some troubles ? Is it to avoid the time it takes to load a film, or because it is unstable ?
Thanks !!

Hi, Alex,
my v33 videoplayer (I think the version you use) creates a pix_film instance for every movie it loads.
Video load times therefore should not be noticeable.

Hi all,
I am wondering if my patch will crash if I load many films with a single instance of [pix_film].
If so, it's possible to do dynamic patching to create many instances of [pix_film], but this is not a very elegant solution. The delay to get a film open is also to be considered.
Using Hans' PD-0.39-2test3 extended on Mac X.4 with a G5 1.33Ghz and a G4 700Mhz. Maybe should I use an old version of PD with Tcl/Tk by iteself to make the GUI faster ?
I also absolutely want both computers to play video files in sync. I think the only way to achieve this is to broacast a counter through UDP [netsend].
Any help is greatly appreciated !
