...since you've tried these things and they don't help, I'm
inclined to believe there's something special about this clip: is
it an edited clip from a longer sequence? I ask this because it
could be that the last frame is somehow doubled/repeated, but
there may be a loop point which quicktime player sees and obeys,
but gem simply ignores...It's not one clip, all clips [quicktime/photo-jpg codec] don't play
properly. As I wrote before, Gem is able to play the 'loop' while
in [auto $1 (lft inlet of pix_film] mode, but its playback
stutters. Using the left inlet of pix_film gives me a smooth
playback but a stuttering last frame.
...hmm: all I can say is that I don't see anything like this with my
clips, so I've uploaded a copy of the latest gem cvs compile to my
website, maybe that'll work?
...my experience with pdp_qt has been spotty on osx, mainly being
a matter of finding a codec that actually gets recognized
correctly...it's been awhile since I really played with it, but I
seem to remember either cinepak or sorenson consistently doing
pretty well...?It has been a while for me too. But I believe that the codec
quicktime/photojpg was recommended.
...unfortunately not all compressor programs make the same kind of
file: it's very easy to think you're compressing as one thing, only
to have it be another...I've been bitten with this, and in practice
have found I just need to keep fiddling with parameters in order to
find something that works as expected in [pdp_qt]...
good luck, jamie
