How to smoothly playback 1080p video ?

edited April 2016 in Library Questions

Hi,

I am trying to playback 1080p video in Processing and using the Loop sample from the video library looks a bit choppy. What's the best way to playback 1080p video smoothly in Processing on Linux 64bit ?

I'm using Processing 3.0.2 64bit and the Linux Mint info is this: RELEASE=17.3 CODENAME=rosa EDITION="Cinnamon 64-bit" DESCRIPTION="Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa" DESKTOP=Gnome TOOLKIT=GTK NEW_FEATURES_URL=http://www.linuxmint.com/rel_rosa_cinnamon_whatsnew.php RELEASE_NOTES_URL=http://www.linuxmint.com/rel_rosa_cinnamon.php USER_GUIDE_URL=help:linuxmint GRUB_TITLE=Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon 64-bit

Thank you, George

  • I apologise, I don't think I was clear. What I would like to know is how to playback 1080p video without frame tearing/lagging.

    As in the example I've posted above, background() or set() to display images is fastest under renderer JAVA2D. You may also try out newest P3's renderer FX2D.

  • Thank you !

    background() and set() are faster than image. Background has the caveat that the movie dimensions must match the sketch dimensions.

    On Linux Mint FX2D could play back nicely (and maintain a constant frame rate). Other renderers would show tearing. Using Windows on a computer with the same configuration showed better results with JAVA2D.
