Hello,
I have pd and Gem installed on a usb drive for use on anyone of a number of computers here at the lab running windows 2k. I also have some short avi video clips using mpeg4 codec. On my machine at home this worked fine, and the videos playback on the computers fine in windows media player, but when I try to load them up onto my objects I get the following message:
error: GEM: pix_film: Could not find decompressor: E:/texture/cliphand.AVI
Is there anyway to solve this issue?

just a wild guess: you have to install the appropriate codecs on the "other" systems too
pd+Gem can be placed anywhere, so the USB-drive should expose no problems.

If your win2k-account has sufficient credentials, try to install ffdshow on these machines. It's an (almost) all-in-one codec, and its open sourced, too ... One word of warning: gem doesn't seem to like many video codecs, I found it to work with indeo 3.2 (crap), uncompressed rgb (huuuge files), mjpeg and huffyuv (still huge). mpeg4 kind of works too, but don't try to skip parts of the video - you'll get really weird effects until gem decodes the next intra-frame.
Now if gem only could handle avs scripts, these problems would probably be solved once and forever ...
Hope this helps, Thoralf.

there is no reason why gem should not support avs scripts.
i jsut checked ant noticed that the only format supported with AVS seems to be RGB24. so the last command in your AVS-script should be "ConvertToRGB24()"
thanks for that hint.

hi johannes,
RGB24. so the last command in your AVS-script should be "ConvertToRGB24()"
you're right - this is working great. I just checked with a few mpeg4s and some obscure divx 3, they all got displayed in just the right way - no strange artifacts, no smearing, everything's fine. Containers other than avi don't work, but that's negligable. So GEM in conjunction with AviSynth and ffdshow should work with almost any codec from now on - great news. At least for windows users ...
thank you, Thoralf.
