Running on Linux, the prepare command has worked well for me with large Qt files, i.e.
prepare videoClip myClip
Maybe use this on openCard on the previous card and give the user something else to do
while
video is loading into memory? Along the same lines, I've noticed that when I play
several small
Qt clips, one afther the other, in Linux, the quality seems to degrade after awhile.
These are
Qt audio files, and the sound tends to get choppy over time. Closing a stack corrects
the problem,
though this isn't the ideal solution. Any scripting techniques to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
