hi the video does not seem corrupted i can open it with VLC, no problem. I tried to find the reason for the error and I found that I can use the first frame but as soon as I go the the second or further it doesnt display it.
btw. passing mode 0 to pix_texture crashed PD. I was trying this to avoid the "gl invalid enumerant" problem i am getting on windows. I guess I might have to re construct my patch step by step to find the critical area. Bad because I dont have the time before the installation opening. thanks enrike Roman Haefeli(e)k dio: > On Wed, 2007-10-31 at 05:23 +0100, Thomas Mayer wrote: >> Roman Haefeli wrote: >>> On Tue, 2007-10-30 at 13:38 +0100, Thomas Mayer wrote: >>> >>>> Maybe the video is corrupt, have you tried transcoding the video with >>>> mencoder or transcode? >>>> >>>> Try >>>> >>>> $ mencoder -ovc xvid -xvidencopts bitrate=800 -oac copy -o train.avi >>>> train.mov >>>> >>>> and load the film train.avi >>> hi thomas >>> >>> maybe i missed something, but i don't quite see why you are suggesting >>> to reencode the movie to avi-container with xvid codec. >> I don't have much experience with different codecs/containers and Gem, >> but - as I said - my first guess is, that the movie is somehow corrupt. >> So 1. reencoding the movie would be an option to check for this, 2. >> mencoder is easy to install on a Linux system and 3. this is a setting >> that works on my system, as mencoder with -ovc lavc produces movies, >> that Gem (pd-extended 0.39-3 on Debian) can't load.
