Hi folks!

I'm working on a patch for a performance, where I need to record the actor and playback the recorded video file.

Hard- and Software:
Working on Mac OSX 10.6.8, using PD extended 0.42.5, some USB-cameras for motion detecting and a SD-firewire cam for recording the actor.
(Quicktime and other video codecs are updated as I'm working as a video editor aswell.)

I use pix_record to write a .mov-file to disc. And here's already the problem I never had before:
The parent window says:

GEM: Start rendering
recordQT: filename '/Users/...filepath.../TEST.mov'
recordQT: using BGRA
recordQT: setup done
recordQT: movie written to /Users/...filepath.../TEST.mov

BGRA is of course wrong and the colors are wrong and the file is horizontally flipped, too.
I tried out several codecs (Animation, REDCODE, None, jpeg, H.264) and of course I tried to switch it off and on again....

Feel free to use my attached test-patch.

Thanks a lot!

So I kept on research and I found out a work around and a solution:

• The flipped image has to be flipped back again. A work around that has to be done.
• For the BGRA-RGBA-color fail, use pix_yuv -> pix_record.
