Unable to load .mov?? (Read 862 times)

Unable to load .mov??
May 8th, 2008, 4:54am  
Last night I tried to cut and export part of a video shot by my DV as .mov and try to play it by Processing, but unluckily, I got some quicktime error!
Because video itself is too large, so I changed the encoding method , framerate and resolution of the video in Premier, is any standard mov format required for Processing to read my mov?

You can playback everything that Quicktime can play.
The problem is only related to the size of the video.
The bigger = the more memory you'll need.

If you want best performance, you can install gstreamer and use the gsvideo library.

Search the board for it.

thanks Jay,

I got the following error, does it mean I need more RAM?

Seems like yes.

To avoid this problem with big movies, you can cut your movie in several parts and call/load the parts one by one when needed.
