[PD] Gem CVS + pd-0.41-0test9 + Ubuntu Gutsy : Not reading videofiles

[patrick]

hi vade,

on linux using transcode, but sometimes ffmpeg or mencoder.

examples:
----------------------------
quicktime - jpeg (4.0M)
http://www.workinprogress.ca/pd/gem/codec/out_jpeg.mov

gem 22% cpu - showing the video
gem 17% cpu - just decoding the video
mplayer xv 5% cpu
mplayer gl 9% cpu

transcode -i dvd.vob -c 500-1000 -y mov,null -F jpeg,,jpeg_quality=70 -G 
1.1 --pre_clip 6,18,6,18 -J denoise3d=2,pp=lb -Z 640x480 --zoom_filter 
Mitchell -o out_jpeg.mov

----------------------------
avi - mjpeg (4.1M)
http://www.workinprogress.ca/pd/gem/codec/out_mjpeg.avi

gem 19% cpu - showing the video
gem 14% cpu - just decoding the video
mplayer xv 5% cpu
mplayer gl 9% cpu
transcode -i dvd.vob -c 500-1000 -y ffmpeg,null -F mjpeg -G 1.1 
--pre_clip 6,18,6,18 -J denoise3d=2,pp=lb -Z 640x480 --zoom_filter 
Mitchell -o out_mjpeg.avi

----------------------------
avi - xvid (933K)
http://www.workinprogress.ca/pd/gem/codec/out_xvid.avi

gem 90% cpu - just decoding the video
mplayer xv 3% cpu
mplayer gl 7% cpu
transcode -i dvd.vob -c 500-1000 -y ffmpeg,null -F xvid -G 1.1 
--pre_clip 6,18,6,18 -J denoise3d=2,pp=lb -Z 640x480 --zoom_filter 
Mitchell -o out_xvid.avi

----------------------------
ffmpeg / mpeg4 (977K)
http://www.workinprogress.ca/pd/gem/codec/out_mpeg4.avi
 
gem 90% cpu - just decoding the video
mplayer xv 3% cpu
mplayer gl 7% cpu
transcode -i dvd.vob -c 500-1000 -y ffmpeg,null -F mpeg4 -G 1.1 
--pre_clip 6,18,6,18 -J denoise3d=2,pp=lb -Z 640x480 --zoom_filter 
Mitchell -o out_mpeg4.avi


i tested some mpeg2video, but since gem is crashing when loading the 
.toc file i cannot know if there's more consumption of cpu in gem vs 
mplayer / ffplay etc...


maybe there's another codec to try?
