My guess is because pix_buffer stores uncompressed frames, which are much bigger. But I could be wrong.

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
