Hello,
I have a problem, when I try to read a video using pix_film, I get this error:
Unable to connect filters -2147220969

I try to open an .avi file 640X480. (window 7 64bit)
I have the latest Quicktime and VLC

Any Idea?
Thanks for your time!

From reading the pix_record helpI understand only quicktime mov format can be recorded. However in pd-extended windows10 when attempting to record to file, I get a quicktime error 'recordQT: EndMediaEdits failed with error -2008'.

It would be ideal if I could record video natively in pd-extended and I'd rather not use a third party software like Millumin/Syphon.

Any tips/ideas? thanks!

@whale-av i really have no clue about Windows7 on macbook. Out of interest, what color does it show, when its not working? do you have quicktime installed?

@jonasbass You are maybe missing the codecs on your system.......
What is your OS?
Have you installed quicktime?
Have you updated your os media player for all codecs?
Have you installed a codec pack?

VLC famously claims that it will play "anything" but that does not mean that it will help Pure Data play "anything"

Hi Hightower

i*m not that hip hop artist, but i send you german links last post, sorry.

A quick research didn't show for shure whether it's possible to use the intensitys output as a normal output, but i have doubts about that. I mostly speak for OSX though. You really better test first!

"For use with gem it is important that it is usable with quicktime." <- thats also only statet for OSX and me, since i used quicktime as a backend, sorry for the confusion. I had cheap grabbers (~10€) that were supposed to work with OSX and did, but only with proprietary software to digitize old VHS or whatever. I also used quicktime with WindowsXP & 7 for projects with 4-8 video inputs..

best

EDIT is very interested in latency tests with intensity shuttle USB3 and pd

What you want to do is possible, but not very straight forward. Your going to have to familiarize yourself with the GEM, PDP and OSC libaries and objects.

If you need to play the quicktime with sound you will have to use the [pdp_qt~] object (from the PDP library) and as far as I know, it only works on Mac OSX

Gem has a full screen command, so you can create the window, drag it to the other display, set fullscreen, then recreate the window. read this

There is no mechanism I'm aware of that can read the chapters out of a quicktime mov...so you'll have to create some messages that hold the time or frame number of the places you want to jump to in the quicktime file(s)

There was a PD external for the DMX USB PRO, but I've heard alot of folks having trouble compiling it. so you may need to use 'wtf2osc' (some python scripts) that will connect to the DMX and translate the DMX signals to OSC (open sound control) that can be fed into PD to control the video. wtf2osc download

Hi,

sorry for my ignorance and my naive question...

... for a performance video projection, I'd like to know if it could be possible to create a user interface in Pure Data that could :

• play/pause a QuickTime movie full screen on a video output (laptop second screen)
• read (on laptop main screen) movie chapters and jump to selected one from a chapter list. Chapters will be already included in the QuickTime movie.
• use dmxusbpro + Enttec dmx usb pro to being able to fade in/out the movie opacity from a DMX dimmer from a theater

Thank you for your (if possible detailed) help.

I'va Pd on mac and I want to use Quicktime's sounds.
How can I do?

Thanks Kyro

Here's a link on how to install the Nvidia drivers if anyone else has this problem with an Nvidia adapter. I'm not sure yet if my installation has the Nvidia drivers or not yet.

One other thing it might be is that in Vista I'm using the quicktime codec for recording video. I'm not sure what codec is default in linux but it's not the quicktime codec. That could very well be the problem.

If one had written a pointer based graphics primitives library many many years ago what library would be best for using this pointer based graphics primitives cross platform.
Is there a way to write directly to memory on an opengl framebuffer and blit the frame buffer?
You know like
char far *framebuffer=0xA0000000;
ysize=800;
xsize=600;

putpixel( int x, int y,char c){
*(framebuffer + y *ysize+x)=c;
};

How do you do a simple putpixel in GEM without creating a point object through the render chain. Is there such a thing as putpixel , line , rect, etc for drawing on a pixmap?
