However here is a recap
So, i am running a
DELL XPS M1530, 2.2 GHZ Core 2 DU0,
XP SP3, 4 gig RAM, 160 GIG internal 7200 RPM HDD,
and the clips are running off a 750 gig 7200 SEAGATE FREEAGENT PRO,
alongside a Geforce 8600 GT Graphics card.
The clips are encoded with PIC Video at 768 x 520, Resolume is running in 16 BIT, with preview at 768 x 520, and output at 800 x 600.
With 1 layer running i am getting 30 fps on average,
with 2 layers it drops to about 15-20 fps
and with 3 layers and very few blending modes it drops to a 6-7 FPS! What the +$#@$@#$#@$@#$
That is just horribly slow!!!!!
Now i've turned off Anti-Virus, tried a fresh install of XP, and stopped nearly all startup applications (Running about 39 processes at Max)
NOW - here is where i've found something useful, I've just tried the same setup on a friends laptop, similar, 2.4 Ghz, 2 gig Ram, 9500 Geforce GFX card, trying resolume 2.4 and 3, I got the similar effect of the clips slowing down after a short period, however i forgot to install the PICVIDEO codec, after installing this everything seemed to be running perfectly
Now i've installed the PICVIDEO on mine in order to compress the files in the first place, but is there someway that the codec is being bypassed? or conflicting with some of the editing programs on my system? E.G Avid, After Effects, 3DS MAX or something?
Cheers!
