Dear List, 
I am trying to make a video mixing type patch and am recording videos and naming them based on numbers spat out by the [time] object at the time of recording.

Then I want to recall them for play back with something like

[time]
[][-2][]
[set open $1.mov(

and pipe that to pix_film, but pix_film tells me:

error: [pix_filmDarwin]: unable to find file: ÿ﾿AK

I can see its a type casting issue but from what to what?

sorry if this is completely obvious and thank you for your attention,

Sofy
