Wow, I will try that!! not at the venue now, and there is no internet there. If this works, I owe you a drink.

Dear John,

Not in the sound player. It's a completely different beast. Please note that AIFF files can be "converted" into movies by simply changing the extension to .mov. Best Wishes, Mark

There is a weird procedure with Finder that wants to add bogus extension(.txt, .html) to some files. Try just deleting .txt.

Dear Shigezo,

Please file your bug report here: http://troikatronix.com/support/isadora/ Select bug report for the "topic." Best Wishes, Mark

Thanks for filing the bug report. It's in the queue.

Best, Mark

Thank you all for your thoughts. But with regard to Matt H's question:

"what happens if I distribute an actor built in mode C and a less experienced user accidentally switches it to a different mode while editing it or checking out its internals. I foresee an increase in emails about my actors not behaving as expected." This is not a problem unless the user chooses "Save and Update All," and if they're doing that with someone else's User Actor (especially one as generlized as yours) then they will simply need to accept what happens. On the other hand, one could "bulletproof" the User Actor inputs and outputs by setting specific Absolute Min/Max (i.e., to something like -100 and +100) so that no other customizations on the outputs would be needed. Best Wishes, M

Everyone following this topic: please check out this post.

Hi,

When adding a video or reorganising video bin, movie players restart to pos. 0 . I am playing .avi files with "play windows movies natively" selected. Bug report posted. Best Mehdi

I would also love to see the frequency band outputs that exist on the movie player actor on the sound player and the AU sound player.

While we are on the subject, it would be great to have an audio output on the movie player, so I could run the audio on movies through core audio effects.

@gunther
This opens fine now, thank you. I will give it a try soon.

Best,
Michel

I would also be very interested in any information here?

I know you emailed me via TroikaTronix support. I pointed you to a link to 1.3.0f17 -- did that solve your problem?

Best Wishes, Mark

Well, I would try the following:

Max width = 4096 Make the width a multiple of 16 See if that helps. Best Wishes, Mark

This bug is fixed for 1.3.0f25. Furthermore, showing the stage no longer deactivates the main window.

kdobe -- there are still bugs. I'm testing. Soon.

Please note that I have put a lot of work into the Stage Preview feature for 1.3.0f25. It will be faster and more robust. So please do give it a try again once you I put 1.3.0f25 up for download.

Hi Mark,

FWIW: I ran your test program on my Retina's integrated HD 4000 (VRAM 512 Mb) -- with the provided texture 6000x4500 it runs fine. I then created a 12000x4500 image and the program crashes with the integrated card, while it still works with the NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M (VRAM 1024 MB) If my calculation is correct (6000x4500x8 = 216 MB and 12000x4500x8 = 532 MB, assuming 8 bytes per pixel) this behavior is in line with HD 4000 memory rating at 512 MB. If it's 4 bytes per pixel, the 12000x4500 crash would be a surprise, but still could be perhaps explained by the memory overhead a texture requires on the GPU. --8

@craigw

This was a question and feature request a while ago in the old forum, see HERE. Maybe its time to send another feature request to push the topic.

Best,
Michel

Can you recommend an earlier version of Isadora, that Windows users could download in the meantime that will circumvent the issue? thanks, jamie
