hi all,
i've worked with jitter and pd/gem before

recently i built a couple jitter patches for a design company, which used sensors to control a script to fade in/out HD video clips.

I optimized these as much as possible on a fast mac, but jitter has unavoidable hiccups when playing HD.

Does anyone have any experience playing back professional HD quality vid in PD? otherwise it looks like I may have to switch to VVVV until a new jitter release. there's no other viable option on a mac for what i need, and although i'd prefer linux to windows it has to run smooth and stable

I'd be open to using gem/pidip/gridflow on mac/linux/windows

any advice on pd or even other tools appreciated.

i don't have any experience about playing HD videos, but i often create big GEM windows (3072x768px) for audio/visual live shows, and it is really good (never under 30fps). I know your problem is very different of what im talking about, but if you can provide some samples videos at the resolution you talk about i can give it a try and report the tests, (linux/pd-extended/last GEM/geforce 7700)...
