Hi Folks

My fist crack at pdp - so far so good with some Quicktime playback, but I find

that I can't play most

Quicktime files - I get an error telling me that the codec isn't supported.

JPEG codec works fime

(anim-1.mov from the Gem docs) but I haven't found another QT file that works.

Is there a good place to

look for such files? Right now I just want to try and get this thing

running...

pdp will support as little codecs as libquicktime does, that's the deal. mainly, photo-JPEG and Sorenson, but depending on your version of libquicktime. anyway, if you can't read it with 'lqtplay', you won't be able to read it with pdp. on a side note, i have the impression that i answered 657 times to that question.

Part two: from the pdp_capture help patch, pdp_ffmpeg~ won't create. Is

there anything I need to do

outside pd here? I've got the Debian packages for pdp and have tried ffmpeg

both from the packages and

from CVS.

if you want pdp_ffmpeg~, you need to compile pidip with --with-ffmpeg=/path/to/ffmpeg/sources but not sure you really need it. it was used before to stream, but now will be replaced by pdp_theonice~ for streaming.
