Resolume Forum

Hi,...

I use Inideo 5.1 AVIs in 640x480.

Dual Xeon 3.2 Ghz with ICH5 RAID0 and 1 Gig RAM

Mediaplayer is playing my AVIs perfectly, but somehow resolume is stoping playback for a few ms every 3 seconds or so.

Why is that?
Can this be optimised out?

You're post doesnt give me much confidence for my next major upgrade so i can run resolume flawlessly...

and here i was thinking an ATHLON FX-55 with 10,000 rpm RAID0 would send me to resolume heaven

I dont think that this is a Hardware issue.

Mediaplayers play the AVIs very well, evenwith much higher resolution AVIs.
Resolume should play back the files "as a media player" with the same framerates without jamming, i would work rather with less layers then with less framerates or resolutions.

i also use indeo 5.1 at 640+480 on a much slower machine: no problem. i just noticed bad playback with indeoxp.

This has been a reccouring bug from beta2, this version seems a little better to me, try disabling you sound card in device manager, now resolume dosent crash when theres no sound card, I found still less ticks in the output with it disabled, I never use the audio stuff anyway. The ticks came in when "frame timing improved" ie the clips supposedly play back in the same time and will drop frames to do so, I'd prefer smooth playback and ride the speed slider myself! And to be honest I mainly work with bands so the tempo is never strict anyway! I tried setting up a raid array as well, with no improvment, some users report no problems, but I think that its down to what kind of footage you use, slow pans/rotations bad, real world you hardly notice. I do think that 1 layer should playback perfectly though, to me its a baseline minimum, drop frames with more layers isnt such an issue, with 1 layer it become more noticable!
