pix_buffer store the frames uncompressed which is many times larger than DV.&nbsp; You may try the &#39;ram&#39; message for pix_film/movie which will load the compressed QT mov into RAM.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jun 23, 2008 at 11:18 AM, rainer _ &lt;<a href="mailto:jepoxy@hotmail.com">jepoxy@hotmail.com</a>&gt; wrote:<br>

Hi,<br>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. <br>
<br>Any idea why? <br><br>&nbsp;GEM Vers. 0.90 on WinXP<br><br>thanks,<br><font color="#888888">Rainer<br></font><div class="WgoR0d"><br><hr>Connect to the next generation of MSN Messenger&nbsp;  <a href="http://imagine-msn.com/messenger/launch80/default.aspx?locale=en-us&amp;source=wlmailtagline" target="_blank">Get it now! </a></div>
