Hi,
I'm making an interface that reads 9 videos (.mov) at a time. It works but it's slow and reading is not fluid.
I'm using pix_film.
Is there anyway of loading all the videos in a first time so I don't get this jerkily thing ?
Thank for helping

Have you got the possibility to test if the reading errors really comes from the storage medium?

From http://gem.iem.at/manual/ListObjects.html

pix_film - use a movie file as a pix source for image-processing
pix_movie - use a movie file as a pix source and load it immediately into the texture-buffer

I don't use Gem myself, but reading that it seems pix_movie would load the whole video file into RAM, and probably into the video RAM on the graphics card. Not knowing much about Gem, there may be a difference between "pix for image processing" and "pix for texture", which may or may not be important.

I'm new using Pd, how can I see that (answer to megale) ?

I don't know if it's normal in that situation to have that jerkily reading or if it should be fine and that the reason is I didn't do it the right way.

I have a Power Mac 2 x 867 Mhz, 512 Mo running on OS 10.4.4
Tell me how I can test the storage medium or I'll show you the patch ?

thanks fo help

I'm french so I might not understand all the subtleties of the definitions...
But you're right, I'll try with pix_movie to see if it's any different. I think I didn't use it remembering when I first tried it it wasn't as good as the pix_film one...

Anyway I'll try to do that quick to tell you if it's the good one
