while working for a installation setup, we're using a quicktime movie (.mov) with an mjpeg encoded video stream with Gem/[pix_film], that ships with current stable pd-extended, on an ubuntu hardy machine and we hadn't experienced a crash in the video part yet. i don't know, if and how much it matters, but i would try different formats/codecs. i guess, that interframe based (xvid/h264/mpeg4|2) codecs should be avoided and intraframe based codecs (jpeg/mjpg/dv) are recommended. the quicktime format seems to run well on all platforms (you need to have quicktime installed on windows and libquicktime on linux) roman > On Wed, Oct 15, 2008 at 5:02 PM, Martin . <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > Hi all, > > I need to play some video files (~700mb) in a theatre setting, > which > demands stability.
