Izzy 2.0 Multiple movies on full screen playback
-
Thanks @Mark, oddly enough I have had very good results with Quicktime Prores under Windows...
But yes, HAP seems to be the way. The HAP Q files are enormous, but I have had fantastic multi-HD playback via Touch Designer, so really looking forward to harnessing that power in Izzy!Take carem -
Dear @mpckej,
Well, I must admit my experience with Windows is pretty much relegated to testing, not so much in real life usage. @keftaparty and @DusX can speak to the qualities of Windows much better than i.
All the Best,

Video playback on windows is great. To achieve playback similar to what AVfoundation is providing, I suggest compressing to WMV using the free Microsoft Expression Encoder. My tests show that these native microsoft formats are the most optimized, utilizing both extreme cpu multi-threading and GPU processing.
I have not done a playback test for sometime, so I can't say exactly how many HD videos it will allow, but I have found this to be surprisingly efficient.
Of course you loose some controls (time scrubbing for example) with native windows playback, not sure how the HAP on windows preforms in comparison yet. -
Thanks for the tip @DusX, when I build a Windows machine again I will try the Expression encoder.
Take carem -
Today I did a test with 6 separate .h264 HD movies (the same content). But only with 5 external screens because in lack of adpaters, the others are used in a show right now. Solid 30fps.
The first 2 screens you see are, 1 Samsung 40" LED TV and an Acer projector, after the pan another Acer projector and two lcd screens.
