Hello pd-folks, I have a general question about video playback, and a specific one about Framestein that I would greatly appreciate your expertise on:
video playback: what's the best way to do this? (if I have a .avi, or some other format that I want to play fullscreen, and advance frames in response to other PD events) I read a little about GEM and it seems very good for 3D rendering, but it was not clear to me if it can be used for video - so Framestein seemed like the obvious choice. Am I correct in this?
Framestein: I've got it installed, and am trying to get to a "hello world" using the 01.example-video patch. Framestein seems to start ok, then after I drag an .avi into the window, I try to scrub it with the horizontal slider. Almost nothing happens with the video, and I get a series of messages from pd saying: "netsend blocked X msec" where X is an integer like 6,5,98,etc.. I also tried changing the endpoints on the slider to no avail.
I am using pd.37-1 and Framestein 0.32
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, -David Merrill

Most people seem to use PDP for this. I cannot help with your Framestein question, as Framestein is Windows only and I don't run MS Windows. The Framestein related traffic on this list is next to nothing, so I suppose, it's not in wide use among the subscribers.

...GEM can do video playback just fine: just make sure you use the latest version 0.90-1, especially if you are on windoze and use video cameras...video/movie playback is simply a texturing operation, so the 3d portion can in effect be ignored...but it's useful for compensating bad projection angles, or doing whatever else...
...pdp/pidip are also good for video, but require a lot of extra libraries to compile, and generally want to run under X11...gridflow is also good and allows for extremely low-level processing...also don't forget MaPod, but I've never used it...
Framestein:
...framestein is windoze only, so can't help ya there...

Hi David,
video playback: what's the best way to do this? (if I have a .avi, or some other format that I want to play fullscreen, and advance frames in response to other PD events) I read a little about
GEM should do the job just fine - check out the pix_video object. If you're running GEM on win, you'll be able to get almost any avi-clips to be rendered if you open them via Avisynth/ffdshow.
Hope this helps, Thoralf.
