Hi folks
Trying to play some 4-8 minute videos with sound. Using Gem (pix_film
- readsf~) it's working but I get lots of clicks, even with higher
latency, unless I split it into 2 instances. I get the feeling this may be a codec/compression thing, but I don't know enough about it to make an informed decision.
I'm on a new MacBook Pro, but the installation will eventually be running on a slightly older computer, maybe a MacBook without dedicated graphics.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I ran a 720p movie with sound off of an old Mac mini using Pd-
extended. I converted the video to JPEG. I loaded the sound into an
array and used my fledging framesync library to play the sound in sync
with the video. You can get framesync from SVN:
svn co https://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pure-data/trunk/externals/fram...
Put the framesync folder into the same folder as the videoplayer.pd
patch.

Try Apple Intermediate Codec - it is a JPEG based codec but highly optimized for multiple cores and has a reasonable compressed size. Avoid H.264, Divx and anything MPEG.
