I have to make a patch that basically plays back some video with some extras. Fairly simple, were it not that the video has to be in the highest possible resolution. I've been trying out many export settings from iMovie.
At first, some codecs loaded properly but were played back very slowly or made pd hang. One low resolution file played back fine. Now for some reason, all *.mov files I try to load in pd give the same error: "couldn't open the movie file: 1_lkj.mov (-2020) GEM: pix_film: Loaded file .... with 0 frames (0x0)" I tried [pix_movie] as well as [pix_film] (is there a difference?). they play back fine in QuickTime Player.
It may have been discussed before, but I couldn't find an answer on the list:
-Wich codec do I use for playing back high quality video in OSX / pd / Gem ? -how come all video files are rejected, even the ones that worked before ?
The platform is OSX (version 10.4.7) on a macbook pro (intel core duo) , pd version 0.38.4-extended-RC8. The patch should also be able to run on a G4 iMac afterwards.
thanks! Tim

Error -2020 means the Movie Toolbox isn't initialized, which is not true at all. Quicktime is initialized long before loading a movie in GEM.

The Intel mac running a PowerPC version of GEM is most likely the problem. You can get an Intel native version at tigital.com

...yeh, I'd just like to add that you should also be using an intel-
native version of pd, the only one of which I know is available from
miller's site...I'm actually surprised to hear that ppc-compiled pd/
gem works at all on macintel...
...also, it might be helpful to know what quicktime version you're
using?

I had this problem after upgrading to 10.4.7
