Choppy Video Playback on Windows 10

    Hey all.
    When using this patch in Yosemite on a Mac using the avf video engine everything is fine.
    When using Windows 10 and Max 7.2.3 the videos play choppily until playing once through then everything is fine (plays smoothly). I need them to play smoothly from the start. Is anyone else experiencing this? I should mention I wasn't having this problem around Max 7.2.1, 7.2.2... Maybe something in jit.movie changed since then? Maybe my video card settings are incorrect?
    To reproduce, open the patch and drag 5 video files onto the dropfile objects. I am using apple prores 422 HQ. You need the ejies package for this patch to work correctly as well... Play with the sliders to mix the video sources (it is a 5-way video blender)
    Windows 10 , quad core i7 2.7ghz, NVIDIA GTX960 (2gb), 12gb ram... Playing files from an external ssd as well...

      Do you need to use Apple Prores? Most of the time its overkill and other codecs can achieve comparable results. You can check how much your GPU is sweating with a free tool like gpu-z.

      Hi Thomas. you should really be setting @output_texture 1 on your jit.movie objects. you don't need the colormode converter slabs, and you don't need to specify colormode uyvy.
      search the reference browser for the guide named "GL Texture Output" for more information.
