wow, you've spotted my secret alliteration Mark!
Ok, I have a little questions that I'm facing that I cannot figure out yet while testing on another machine:
For some reason with one of the same testing patch (which is running 9 1280 x 720 photojepg video on Movie Player), my MacBook Pro can run up to 26 FPS, and i'm testing on a Mac Pro can only run to 2 FPS. I've checked and see that on the Mac Pro, the movie player is running on "AV foundation", and the result was was poor, but in my Macbook pro it was running in "QT" automatically, with the exact same setting (ie. optimized for performance). I can't figure out why. I've installed Quick Time 7.6 And even if I switch the Movie Player setting to optimize for "interactivity", some Movie Player switched to "QT" but some remained in "AV". And the result was still poor (7FPS)
Below are the specs:
1\. MacPro (2008 model, upgraded)
Processer: 2x 3.2GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory: 3GB 667 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
Graphics: ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB

3. MacBook Pro (mid 2012 model, upgraded to SSD)
MacBook Pro 15in. (2012) 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB
SSD 500mb/500mb

thanks in advance
