Yes, just to be clear, I think on MacOSX and Linux performance may be much more stable. From what I know the PC version has some problems, particularly with video playing.
I went back to my own patch, and got it running again. I determined that, basically, I can't safely play AVI files with pix_film (on Windoze). When I load a Quicktime, it seems to work okay, however.
But, again, the patch as a whole does not have the kind of stability I would need for an installation - there is still the possibility of crashing after an hour or two. It looks great though, when it's running!

Last year I made a project for an Installation with two computers (MacOSX) using Netreceive and Netsend objects. I used more than 50 video files (720X576 PAL/25fps - .mov) and it never crashed (At leasr 2 video files were playing simultaneously).

hi list, im working on a gem patch for a theater piece, the idea is that the scenography is gonna be made with the projection of 3 videos at the same time .... for synchronizing the videos i created a gem patch that is gonna be in each computer(3 computers: 2 osx and 1 with windows) connecting this 3 computers via netsend and netreceive....... I would like to know which is the best file extension for video supported by Gem (in osx and windows) and also which is the best codec for both windows and osx. Im interested in something really stable, if one of my computers with pd crashes at the middle of the piece, im gonna be dead. which factors influences the stability of opening and playing videos in gem? Does the video reading stabitlity comes from the amount of the video file size too?
any hints would be gratefully appreciated
