I'm using tiered UBU-menus to load movies in Jitter. I have three menues; general category, subcategory, and then the files themselves. Each time I populate a menu, it freezes my video output as the files/folders are read into the directory. This is different then delays caused when files themselves actually load. Is there a way I can keep this from happening by defering or isolating the threading of that function. I suppose I expect a bit of a hit when the files themselves load, but I'm getting little pauses everytime I navigate through my menus.

can do about this, although there might be stuff that we can do in

Top Tier 35 folders... But this only populates once, so not a problem.

Middle tier from 2 to 25 folders per folder

Though, I just tested with a single file running, and selecting a folder with a single file in it. Same as selecting a folder with a bunch of files.

Left click, choose item, unclick, HANG, resume playback. It seems as if the act of the query, as opposed to the act of filling the menu is when the pause comes.

The pause feels like.

A very subjective statement.

v6.5 of Quicktime.


I have the same problem and concerns as Leo. It happens to me even when an ubumenu is reading less than a dozen movie files out of a directory.
