hello,

i need some advise about a video processing lib i could use to convert some c'74 jitter patches. basically, the patches need to be running smooth on a medium speed computer, the libs should be free and open source and running on both linux and mac (intel). the stuff done in jitter is pretty basic and currently uses these objects:

jit.qt.movie streaming movie files off harddisc ; note that the movies can be converted to any other movie format if necessary
jit.matrix                                      storing frames
jit.window                              presenting movies
jit.scalebias                           modifying r / g / b dynamics
jit.op                                  applying fadings
jit.alphablend                  superimposing png images with transparency
jit.rgb2hsl and jit.hsl2rgb animating de-saturation (to greyscale) and back to colour

as far as know, when using PD, there are these possibilities:

GEM will allow me to play video files as openGL textures but not be doing matrix-pixel stuff?
framestein      windows only?
gridflow looks as if this has a concept similar to jitter? says mac version is "experimental" ... pdp also looks like jitter, but more macro objects instead of low level when comparing to gridflow? says its linux + mac

also jitter already chokes with playing four small movies (cpu- nonintensive codec!!) on a fast macbook, so i hope to also reduce the "jitter" in the frame rate timing (images are only 12 fps but jitter seems to be really bad in keeping proper timing). to me it looks if either gridflow or pdp could be a good choice?

thanks for hints (also if there is something i could use outside pd, i'm gratefull for infos)! ciao,
