Any codec other than DXV?

Post by ghosttrain »

Okay guys, I know what you're doing here, you're not the only program to have their own unique format and I get the point from that, both the hardware accelerated part and also the other reason, but honestly, do you support any other format besides your DXV which won't kill the framerate and drop it below 24? Some codecs are hardware accelerated, I get that, but I don't think there's any denying that any PC which can run GTA5 and can display the same video just fine in other VJ programs shouldn't be able to play the same video in Resolume Arena 5 with the H264 codec or MP4, without dropping to 8-12 fps with no geometric correction or anything else in the composition...

When a client gives me a video I have to project just after an hour to a wall I don't have time to convert it via Quicktime to DXV or DXV3. And if I have to use another program for such situations, it makes me feel whether I should be looking for another program to do both of these tasks. So I hope this gives you a second thought whether to support other video formats properly.

you should be fine with h264 or mp4 in a mov container, just make sure the audio is uncompressed wav.

I'm glad it might be an issue on my side, but I've tried the MOV container (the only one Resolume seems to open) and both of these codecs. And there is no audio data in the files (not just no sound, but no audio codec). But the framerate is terrible. Play just fine in other programs.
