Here are some updates regarding my attempts to solve the issue with my
pix_film patch.
Last week, I was able to get the patch running when I made the following key
change:
(1) I reconverted the movie files so that they were smaller in size (the
original quicktime file were approximately 300MB each
Thanks for pointing out.
Might be some stereotype of mine, but I've worked in a easier way on
cross-platform projects with [pix_movie] which seems to handle in a better
way different codecs on different platforms. I don't know the guts of both
obj though.
However on the archive list there are threa
Unfortunately, those crash logs don't help much as the crash comes inside a
very basic Quicktime function. Maybe it is a QT bug.

this is entire news for me.
there are 2 bug-reports in Gem's bug-tracker that have "pix_film" in
their title. then i found (after admittedly quick searching) one (1)

Mathieu, thanks for all the tips. I will try these out later this week on
site.
In regards to your question about vline~, I was currently just using the
line object to turn up and down the clip volume.
All the best, Julio

The crash often happens all by itself (e.g. no input is being processed
by the patch at the time of the crash).
The video you are playing is a kind of input in some manner (though it's
also useful to know that you're not having any other input than that)
In your home folder there is a Library folder which contains a subfolder
with crash logs. There will be one for Pd in there which you can zip and
post to the list. That will show exactly where the crash occurs.
On OSX most of the pix_film crashes come from 3rd party codecs installed
like Perian
Hi there,
you should mention the version of Pd and Gem you are running, and make the
effort to narrow it down a little bit. What elements cause the crash in the
patch? Does it happen straigt away, on loading, after a few days, with or
without the PdMtl abs, MIDI...
Is the mac mini a PPC machine
[pix_film] is well known for this kind of crash-y issues.
It might depends on the codec you use (i.e. different codecs are installed
on MacMini)
However, have you tried using [pix_movie] instead?
In my experience it's more reliable.

I’ve been working trying to fix a Puredata patch that uses MIDI input from
an external device to control playback of 2 movies that are displayed in a
single GEM window. I have been able to get the patch working properly on my
own computer (a 2.53GHz MacBook Pro with OSX 10.6.3) but can’t get it to
