A recent QT upgrade (7.4.1) now lets QT read the file created by pdp_rec~. However, the video portion comes out blank.

The first time I tried reading the file I got a message something like "QT needs a new component in order to read this file." Of course, it didn't say *which* new component, and the Apple website it directed me to was no help.

Subsequently, plays the file without giving the message -- but still with the video blank.

Does anyone know which new component is needed?

Thanks.

The last time I tried to pix_record on OSX (on a Dual G5 running Panther, 2Go RAM) , I switched to Gem2pdp + pdp_rec because the Mac couldnt handle it in realtime for a 640x480 window and PDP made it (might be related to PDP multithread capability).

I'm sorry, what is pdp_rec? It won't create, and I don't find it listed. The only thing I find that seems to be able to write to a file is pdp_rawout.

I found it as soon as I added the missing tilde at the end: pdp_rec~.

So I now have pdp_rec~. But when I try to play the output file in QuickTime, I get the error message "The movie could not be opened. An invalid public movie atom was found in the movie." The same thing happens if I try to import into Final Cut or iMovie.

Google reveals that it's because when QT 7.3 came out, they changed the value of a "null byte" from 0 to -1 -- thereby invalidating many .mov files and infuriating many people. The only suggested solution I've found mentioned is reverting to QT 7.2 (someone recommends 7.1.6), which apparently involves wiping the HD and re-installing the OS -- *if* you can find QT 7.2 or 7.1.6.

I searched for the error message on the pd-list archive and didn't find anything. Does anyone have experience with this and know a solution? Olivier, when you use gem2pdp and pdp_rec~ as mentioned in your post, what do you do with the resulting file?

Thanks.
