aha. this sounds like might be the way to investigate. I know i have QT installed but not sure about the second machine. I am going to ask. thanks. >> i also noticed since i upgraded to latest GEM that the 3pg videos play >> its sound after being loaded.

I also am fairly sure we had both same version when I did the tests 0.39-3 extended with GEM 0.91-cvs compiled Dec 11 2006. Pretty old one... So I thought this error might be more to do with some codec not being installed on the system, or some windows version issue. I am going to try to get more info on the second system. > anyhow, i thought i had fixed the audio-playback via the quicktime > decoder (no Pd involved) in recent builds (the CVS-commit dates to > 2008/05/09) thank you very much! enrike _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
