Quoting Matteo Sisti Sette matteosistisette@gmail.com:
Now, try it with a dv-pal AVI file with audio - or maybe with ANY avi file with audio - or maybe even with a mov (I reproduced it with a dv-pal avi). The annoying thing is that it is playing the file audio track, and it does not come from PD (dsp is turned off). I dunnow where the heck the audio comes from but i hear it. If you don't activate the "auto" check nor move the frame number, a 1-frame-long (which is 40msec) fragment of audio is repeated over and over again, and the patch consumes almost 100% CPU.
hmm, quicktime has the bad habit of playing back the audio of a movie
on it's own.
it is weird that it did not happen before.
anyhow, i have uploaded yet another version to
http://gem.iem.at/releases/0.91/gem-CVS20080509-W32-i686.exe
this version should at least mute the audio-output when using QuickTime
With old gem-CVS20060412-NT-i686 this doesn't happen, with the same version of quicktime. GEM only reproduced the video, through QuickTime, and ignores the audio (which is what you expect from GEM isn't it). Also, if you don't activate "auto" nor move the frame number, it consumes much less CPU (which is reasonable cause it's not decoding new frames).
indeed
I guess I do can assume that 2006 version is also using quicktime because of the "1" argument in the open message. I don't know if the attached output (obtained with old 2006 version) (at the end of the message)confirms this.
it does.
Why and where is the audio being played? How can I turn it off and avoid useless cpu usage???
i will probably have a look into the CPU-thing; nevertheless, there
haven't been any real changes to the code (that would explain both the
sudden appearance of sound and the cpu-thing)
i assume that you are doing your tests on the same machine with just
Gem.dll exchanged (so directX and quicktime should _really_ be the same)
anyhow, you probably will notice that Gem now comes as an installer (.exe) i hope this eases the installation procedure...
Hans, if you read this: is this installer ok for you too? (i guess you
have downloaded the zip and extracted it manually, so there shouldn't
be any real difference in terms of work)
