jit.movie~ crash reading prores 422 (and sometimes other .mov)

plem's icon

Looking around the forum it seems that I am the only one with this problem, but who knows?
Having jit.movie~ in my patch and trying to read .mov files sometimes (not always) make max crash competely. Also if I compress the original movie-files to prores 422 with apple compressor.
Does this feel familiar for anybody? And would there be a solution? Or do I things wrong?

I am on macbookpro 10.13.6 and max 8.0.5

Thanks

The only problems I've had with [jit.movie~] are chimeric behaviors associated with the playback of some audio formats. The stability of the object seems to me similar to the "classic" [jit.movie].

Is the unstable work of the object related to your patch, or is it also appearing in a standard help file?

Hai Yaniki,

No, the problem only happens with jit.movie~ (as I tried with the attached sample-patch). The (4.5 G prores422 file blows up max with the movie~ version only.
So probably something with sound compression? I am going to experiment with that. I will let it know to the forum if something comes out.
Or is there anybody with a clue?

Thanks
Peter

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

Yes.
That was it. Coding the file with the same codec but without sound already prevented crashing max. Using another codec worked already. So, now, in search for the best way of coding (-;

Thanks

Sounds promising. Fingers crossed.
