That's the problem... we're long on memory and short on CPU with the patch I'm working on. I hoped I could use [pix_buffer] to get some of that CPU back at the expense of a lot of RAM... Besides, I couldn't preload *all* my clips with the 'ram' message anyways. Only the one I'm currently playing. My patch has 48 clips which will be addressed by three different players, so a way of storing all the vids ahead of time is required to avoid lagtime starting the video when it's requested.
Can you fit all 48 clips uncompressed into RAM? A 1 second clip at 640x480 30fps in YCbCr is about 18.5MB (double that for RGBA) which would allow 3 and a half minutes of video to fit in 32bit address space. Try creating a RAM disk and copy the uncompressed clips into that. RAM disks might even allow for greater than 32 bit sizes.
