hi
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.
my vote is for photojpeg in 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.
theater is something where everything can happen....
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?
i think (it might be wrong....):
it depends of the size of the video-file - 320x240 is an acceptable size for a powerbook g4 800mhz, i don't know what is the limitation with other hardware.
i've done that with 4 computers, 1 master and 3 slaves + 1 ethernet dispatcher (don't know the english word) and it has work during 1 month without a crash (thank you osx)
use a minimum of pd gui to save cpu capability.
best regards nicolas
