Hello,

Im using pd on moc osX 10.3.9

I've looked at various examples but my pix data patch is still fairly temperamental. Sometimes I can get stream of RGB numbers from my pix video but this only seems to work occasionally. I keep getting the values 85.33 on the gray value and then usually 128 in the number boxes after unpacking the color. Does anyone know where is the best outlet to link pix data is?

Also I'm still having some difficulty opening quicktime files. The openpanel- open $1 works fine but I want to open specific files activated by a bang and my open patch keeps getting the error 'no method for open'. I don'r know what the method is that I need to use so I would greatly appreciate any information or advice on any of the patches I have included.

Cheers, Sam woodcock.

Hello,
Your "open" message is connected to the wrong box,

Hi,

As far as I can tell I've connected it to the right box this time but I keep getting the same error: pix_filmDarwin: no method for 'open/Users/samwoodcock/ONOMATOPOEIA...

The openpanel part of my screenworks2blob.pd works fine and the only thing I've changed is the filename message. The problem must be the open message or the bang but I don't know what else I need to do to make it work. I've only been using pd for a short time and I don't know why the openpanel patch works with pixfilm but the open message doesn't. Is there another object I need to include? Does anyone know what the 'method' I need to use to open my quicktime file is, other than openpanel? I know this must seem really obvious to people have used pd for a while but it doesn't seem to make any sense to me whatsoever. I just need a specific help example for opening quicktime files but the ones I've looked at haven't been much use.

any ideas would be great. Sam

ha ha ha, you'(re going to kick yourself so hard when i tell you this...

you need a space between "open" and "/users/sam....."

open/Users/samwoodcock/ONOMATOPOEIA --> open /Users/samwoodcock/ONOMATOPOEIA

argh! That was the sound of me kicking myself.

Cheers hardoff.

I've modified a little bit your patch in attached file
