Quicktime in Windows XP crash - GONE!
« on: Apr 13th, 2005, 11:40pm »

I've been playing with 'processing' for just one day. Great program. I had frequent problems with application crashes using quicktime movies as source. Then I changed the memory allocation in 'run.bat' from 128M to 384M. Crashes are GONE! !), so it seems  not a Quicktime for Java bug as I read somewhere on Discourse. My system is: Windows XP SP1 on Dell 2.8GHZ machine w. 2Giga Ram and dual monitor card. ...I'm using quite large window sizes (800x600).
 
One problem remains. After several cycles of 'run & stop' the Processing application gets quite slow in reponse (edit). Shut down and restart the application solves. Likely some kind of memory allocation problem (orfans).
 
For Windows users: To create MPEG4 movies I'm saving the frames using 'saveFrame' in the loop method, then I import the numbered images to Corel Painter 8 and save the sequence in QuickTime format, MPEG4 option. That works fine also for my new Multimedia storge/viewer Epson P-2000, no need to buy dedicated video editing software.
 
Question: the 'saveFrame' method saves the images always to the 'processing-0069' directory. That's quite boring. How can it be changed?
