Well, I just reinstalled a debian stable instead of lenny (too much maintainance) , installed Pd-extended 0.39-3 from the Sourceforge link and pix_record works again.

The really annoying bug is the following: if you use pix_record as a top-level object such as in the help file. Once you nest it into an abstraction and/or subpatch, it works the first time you record, crashes the second time. It behaves this way on my x86 Debian Etch box, libquicktime is libquicktime0 (0.9.7-1) Benjamin Cadon told me the same happened to him (Benjamin, could you post your details?) . I gave a try to Pure:Dyne's Gem version pix_record from puredyne-2.3.66-DVD-RC1 and before<http://royalrabbit.goto10.org/rl/NL_waag.org/testing/iso/puredyne-2.3.66-DVD-RC2.iso> beahves the same as described before pix_record from puredyne-2.3.66-DVD-RC2 is broken<http://royalrabbit.goto10.org/rl/NL_waag.org/testing/iso/puredyne-2.3.66-DVD-RC2.iso>(object doesnt create at all) > I was wondering if there was a way have its bugs corrected (be it by the > > magical powers of a bounty) or will it stay postponed to the Greek > > calendas? > > > - file a bug-report (please file it at pd-gem's tracker not at the > pure-data tracker) OK > > > > > > Is it more reasonable to patch a woraround with pix_write? > > not very reasonable (though working) > > i would prefer having [pix_record] fixed. me too! One workaround that benjamin did is to reinstatiaate the abstraction after each recording ++ O.
