Last year I made a project for an Installation with two computers (MacOSX) using Netreceive and Netsend objects. I used more than 50 video files (720X576 PAL/25fps - .mov) and it never crashed (At leasr 2 video files were playing simultaneously).

hi list, im working on a gem patch for a theater piece, the idea is that the scenography is gonna be made with the projection of 3 videos at the same time .... for synchronizing the videos i created a gem patch that is gonna be in each computer(3 computers: 2 osx and 1 with windows) connecting this 3 computers via netsend and netreceive....... 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. Im interested in something really stable, if one of my computers with pd crashes at the middle of the piece, im gonna be dead. 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?
any hints would be gratefully appreciated
