Last year I made a project for an Installation with two computers (MacOSX) using Netreceive and Netsend objects. I used  more than 50 video files (720X576 PAL/25fps - .mov) and it never crashed (At leasr 2 video files were playing simultaneously).

Subject: [PD] stability of Gem for video playing
 
hi list, im working on a gem patch for a theater piece, the idea is that
  the scenography is gonna be made with the projection of 3 videos at the
  same time  .... for synchronizing the videos i created a gem patch that
  is gonna be in each computer(3 computers: 2 osx and 1 with windows)
  connecting this 3 computers  via netsend and netreceive....... I   would
  like to know which is the best  file extension for video supported by
  Gem (in osx and windows)  and also which is the best codec for both
  windows and osx. Im interested in something really  stable, if one of my
  computers with pd crashes at the middle of the piece, im gonna be dead.
  which factors influences the stability of opening and playing videos in
  gem?
  Does the video reading stabitlity comes from the amount of the video
  file size too?
  
  any hints would be gratefully appreciated
