hi, just tried to get a simple video patch to work under linux and got a segfault crash when trying to load a video encoded with the "UT" codec.
a more general question before going into details:
what video codecs are people on this list using in a linux environment for [pix_film] ? my requirements are:
- should not alter colors (so h264 is out)
- should decompress easily
- should respond immediately to frame messages (for good a/v sync)
- should allow alpha channel
in windows and OSX the "UT" codec was so far my codec of choice, because it's very light on the CPU while decoding (huge filesizes though) and is "visually lossless". on OSX "prores" was also fine. but both of them crash PD (or rather "libgmerlin") in linux. strange because mplayer, ffplay, vlc etc. can play them
PD 0.48.0 Gem 0.93.3 Debian stretch 9.1
thanks for any ideas in this regard !
=========================================================================
now for my crash report:
i opened [pix_film]'s helpfile and opened a movie file encoded with UT (another version had PRORES - same crash) and got an immediate segfault and PD quit.
i tried again with loglevel 4 and it showed this (on opening the patch):

after the loading of the movie file, pd quits with the following error (in the terminal):
"Pixelformat not specified for video frame" "Segmentation fault"
with the help of a linux friend i got the following error report using gdb:

=========================================================================
so it seems that "libgmerlin" is the cause of the crash, right ? anything that can be done here ? as i said, both files loaded fine in windows and OSX

hello,
try mjpeg codecs
.mov or . avi container
it used to work, for me .
it is light on processor and intraframe codec but it is old.
i don't know how it behaves with hd.
Have a nice day
