You could convert your .avis to another format, like .mov.

I'm running GEM on Windows. In my latest patch, I'm loading up 12
quicktimes all at once to different GEM heads, and turning all but
the one I want off, and sending all 12 into the same [pd
some_pix_fx] -> [pix_texture] -> [rectangle]. This may take more
memory, but to tell the truth, the performance has been quite
stable. But, I use loadbangs to load all of these up at startup,
before I create the gemwin.However, the problem is that I prefer to do quick edits on video
clips with Virtual Dub, and that's obviously not possible. I don't
know of any free or open source video editor for quicktime, that is
really fast (and linear). I will end up using Adobe Premier, but
it's totally overkill and not so efficient for the simple edits I
want to do. When time is short, quick interfaces become incredibly
important.Anyway, my advise is, if using GEM on winsows avoid AVI like the
plague... They ALL crash it, regardless of codec, in my experience.
Or, follow the advice of "c" and learn vvvv, that's what I'm going
to use to play glitched up AVI's in my upcoming show. Though having
to learn two quite different modular programs, when you're just
starting to get comfortable with one, is somewhat of a pain!~David

Has this been discussed before? Do you know if there's another
codec that works?
none?. even the homer video displayed weird for me... i guess most
people who are serious about windows and graphical dataflow
patching have swayed towards VVVV, since it fully embraces all that
is DirectX/DirectShow/etc..
