let's have a look, but in general it is better to ask at the list. the more people read it, the more can help and profit from it....

Might you know the > problem here? seems like you are getting into a saturation problem with the rgba->yuv (and/or vice-versa) problem. does the problem occur with special brightnesses only? and make sure that your yuv-image has an even width. it could also be a problem with SIMD code. you could try using [pix_yuv] and [pix_rgba] explicitely and send them a [simd 0( message. apart from that, i have been using [pix_buffer] with 3GB of yuv-images on linux without weird colors. > > After posting to the list I was advised to upgrade to the newer version.

(i don't use pd-extended and i don't use w32, so i don't know) which version of DirectX? which version of w32? which camera? what is "immediately"? creating the [pix_video] object? turning on rendering with [pix_video] created? sending "open" to [pix_video]??? could you try the latest available version (e.g. test-version) of Gem for w32 from http://gem.iem.at?

Maybe this is something for Hans but I thought I'd ask while at it. afaik, you should wipe the registry before doing an upgrade. but it is really a question for the pd-extended gang. fgmadsr IOhannes _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
