pix_buffer store the frames uncompressed which is many times larger than DV.  You may try the 'ram' message for pix_film/movie which will load the compressed QT mov into RAM.

Hi,
just have rebuilt one of my patches to fetch single videoframes not from harddisc but from RAM with the pix_buffer objects. It works great, about 20 times faster - the problem is I can`t load more than 960 frames of Quicktime DV PAL in RAM and the 2 GB of RAM are full.... this is strange because the hole file of about 4 min. has about 500 MB.

Any idea why?

 GEM Vers. 0.90 on WinXP

thanks,
Rainer
