Hi,
I'm trying to load an .AVI file in a Gem window and the play it a different frame rates. This should be simple but the only movies that seem to work are the ones that came bundled with the GEM examples.
I have updated to gem_0.90.1 (03/08/2004), although when I load Gem it still says version 0.90.0; I'm sure I've put it in the correct directory. I am running pd.037, on Win2K, I have an Indeo codec v5.10 so that shouldn't cause any problems. I have also tried with pd.038, and with WinXP - the same problem keeps happening: the file loads (according to the "verbose" option) then when I turn the rendering on pd crashes. The errors seem to be memory allocation errors - they don't appear when I run pd with the "verbose" option.
I hope someone can help me because I've pretty much exhausted all the solutions I've found in the archives.

same here (pd 0.37.3, GEM 0.90.1, WinXP) I can use only avi compressed with: uncompressed RGB (huge filesize) codec Intel IYUV (smaller but still great filesize) and another I can't remember now (small filesize but eats cpu: max 2 avis with a PIV 1.5 GHz)

you can use AviSynth to decode an avi to a format Gem understands (yes, sooner or later i hope there will be "real" support for more codecs)
just make sure, you proved RGB24-data...

hi...
well i think there are not really problems with codecs anymore. the only codec i could remember i was having troubles with was the indeo 5.something where the indeo 3.something was working fine. i think (haven`t really tried it out yet) that nearly every quicktime codec works nice (which is great :)). nevertheless i recommend using divX and render it each frame a keyframe (if you want exact frames). if you just want to play your video at normal speed or play with the funky world of divX compression you should just do a preset divX render.
-- this is all i can say for pd 0.37.3, GEM 0.90.1, WinXP
