Hi,

I'm trying to create a video player which instead of playing a video linearly, the cursor jumps to random frames.

But I get a very very low framerate :(

The video is a DV clip converted to quicktime. I've tried different quicktime codecs: H.264, M-JPEG, etc and the result is always the same: slow.

I've tried doing the same in vvvv.org and everything runs fast and smooth (using AVI files) so I wonder what I'm doing wrong.

Any ideas why I'm getting such a slow output?

Code:

import processing.opengl.*;
import processing.video.*;

Movie myMovie;
float t0;
float t;

void setup() {
  size(720, 576, OPENGL);
  frameRate(30);
  // Load and play the video in a loop
  myMovie = new Movie(this, "R:/movie.mov");
  myMovie.loop();
  myMovie.speed(0);
  t0 = millis();
  
}


void movieEvent(Movie myMovie) {
  t = getMoviePosition();
  println(t + " " + myMovie.duration());
  myMovie.jump(getMoviePosition() + random(10) - 5);
}


void draw() {
  myMovie.read();
  image(myMovie, 0,0);
  
  if (t > myMovie.duration()) {
    println("finished!");
    exit();
  }
  
}

float getMoviePosition() {
  float t = ( millis() - t0) / 1000;
  return t;
}
