Hello forum,

I'm having tremendous difficulties making pix record render a video file or making pd stable for this. I tried to use the h.264 codec but pd crashes and i tried using other codecs but when i finish recording i cant play the video file and quicktime says it is not a valid file.
"Finally when i load the video files im going to use i get this error message
[pix_film]: loaded file: C:/Users/ardotadot/Desktop/interviu/Película 55.mov with 1 frames (640x480) at -1.000000 fps
error: : no such object"

I've attached the patch here so you can take a look.
What am i doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.
R.A.

hello ardot

i asume you are running windows? i do not at the moment, but had pix_record working on a windows machine some time ago..
If i remember correct, you have to install quicktime to record.

hope that helps

im running it on windows 7 with quicktime already installed and it doesnt make a difference.

I also tried running it under OSX 10.5.8 but it seems to be more stable on Windows.

ah, yes, you where mentioning quicktime, sorry.
First your patch was not working for me (OSX 10.6.8) either, it said: can't set file while recording or something like that, but now it is. I think i didn*t change anything fundamentaly, but heres your patch
