Hi Greg,
it sounds like your problems with Sorenson3 in QT5 on the PC are memory
related. Since you are using many QT members, I think what is happening is
this:
QuickTime is keeping the decompressed frames of the played Sorenson3 movies
in memory until the instance of the QTmovie (the QT member) has been
destroyed.
The best option is to use only one QT member and switch the QT movies by
setting the filename of that member:
member("QT").filename = playlist[pointer]
When you are not playing any QT free the memory needed for the QT member by
switching to a one frame dummy QTmovie.
Even then just one long Sorenson3 movie with a large resolution can eat up
all your memory quicktime, because it (the bug) is keeping all the
decompressed frames around. When this happens Director starts forgetting
its own behavior properties and crashes.
To overcome this problem you can set the use hardware acceleration property
of QuickTime on the movie level, open the QTmovie, and choose:
movie properties:video track:graphics mode:composition.
This will also fix any color problems related with Sorenson3 using hardware
acceleration.
