Post the crash log which is in ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/. I have patches that do something similar hundreds of thousands of times without crashing. MPEG-4 is not a very good codec to use in general so try a codec like Photo-JPEG or Apple Intermediate Codec.

Hi, I´m beginner in using PD and trying to make a very simple video- scratcher which would load videoclips from HD and play them in random order – At least in this point. Next goal would be involving audience movement affecting which clips to load...ok I succeeded in making a patch wich seems to work but it keeps crashing once in a while (Pd closes suddenly). Sometimes it goes on for an hour and sometimes it shuts down PD in less than minute. If someone could have a look if there´s something fundamentally wrong with the patch. I´m using PD 0.40.2 extended with Intel Macbook. I was wondering if the videoclips should be buffered somehow.
