...yep, sadly this is true: besides the auto method, there's also the (OSX-only) "rate" message (not in the pix_filmNEW/pix_filmQT)...of course, you can also control the rate of frame playback by setting up a variable metronome into a counter that loops based on the number of frames contained in the film...
the rate-mesage! cool, that's what i was thinking of. a pity that it's not cross plattform.
...and don't forget that by default, the gemwin is set to output at 20 fps...this may've been good for the machines available with the initial GEM releases, but now I always set it to 60 fps (at least!), or whatever the refresh rate is of my output...winds up give much smoother output, and allows gem to do things in the background if necessary, or nothing at all if not necessary!
that's right: the CPU load is a bit higher, but it looks definetly a lot smoother.
