We are about to switch to a new forum software. Until then we have removed the registration on this forum.
I'm currently using h264 in a .mov wrapper at 10mbs/s and have problems with the videos freezing after about 10 minutes.
These are being used for a light visualisation so need to be played for around 10 hours, no problems! I have a collection of videos that can be overlaid to achieve different effects so I'm hoping to find a better codec but cannot find any information online.
I'm going to try an uncompressed format but any experience or advice would be great as there is a lot of trial and error (and waiting for renders) ahead!
Cheers Rich

Cheers - theres a lot going on in the program so can't use JAVA2D or background but the noLoop() technique worked a treat!! Nice one
Also I converted my video files to QT animations (uncompressed) and it helps alot though the file size is ridiculous!
In this case, both background() & set() are slower for displaying the Movie/PImage picture.
That is, for both P2D & P3D renderers, we should use image() instead.
got it! nice one :)
For our 60fps-application we have tested several codecs and recorded automatically the real fps:
