does video-playback work generally ? try mplayer and qtplay (!)

I have neither of this apps installed, but xine plays my dvds... Video does work though, as you suggested with pix_draw (see below)

check Base/configLinux.h

/* ../Base/configLinux.h. Generated by configure. */ #define HAVE_LIBFTGL 1 /* #undef HAVE_LIBGLTT */ /* #undef HAVE_LIBMPEG */ #define HAVE_LIBMPEG3 1 #define HAVE_LIBQUICKTIME 1 #define HAVE_LIBAVIPLAY 1 /* #undef HAVE_LIBAVFORMAT */ /* #undef HAVE_LIBAVCODEC */ #define HAVE_LIBDV 1 /* #undef HAVE_MMX */

examples/04.pix/05.film.pd quicktime_delete_vcodec_stub called and pix_film:: quicktime4linux support pix_film:: libmpeg3 support GEM: Start rendering pix_texture: not using client storage GEM: pix_film: unsupported CODEC 'IV32'! (homer.avi)

with a different movie:

quicktime_delete_vcodec_stub called and GEM: pix_film: Loaded file: /usr/local/lib/pd/doc/gem/examples/04.pix/../data/anim-1.mov with 90 frames (256x256)

and the last movie:

the toc warning and GEM: pix_film: Loaded file: /usr/local/lib/pd/doc/gem/examples/04.pix/../data/alea.mpg with 31 frames (320x240)

pix_texture seems to be the error because when I replace everything below pix_film in 05.film.pd with pix_draw I can see video (the alea.mpg video). What dows this mean? Is the address of the texture space on the video card being mis-addressed somehow (just a 64bit guess)?

Thanks for the help! -thewade
