Resolume Forum

i have a problem, i cant view what resolume is doing in realtime always makes some king of delay, im using files with DV codec thats why?

pc: pentium 4 1.6
video card: gforce 4 mx 64mb
ram: 768
harddisk: 60 + 60 gb
1 monitor + 1 tv

if you mean dv codeced video files, this means your video clips are 720 x 576 25fps (pal) or 720 x 480 30fps. (ntsc) which means lots of disk i/o activity

also, if you are using process and output resolutions lower than your clip resolution, this means, resolume down samples the videos.

here is an latency analysis

disk i/o activity for one clip
down sampling time
effect calculations time for clip and global output if you have any
process and outputting time of the final output

if you use more than one layer
this means multiply the total time with almost 3

I tried to playback some dv clips in my laptop which is almost same config with you specified, it also delays

then I tried with our video editing station, equiped with 4 disk raid and dual xeon, it almost perfectly process and outputs at 720x576 in almost 25fps

i think your bottleneck is at the disk i/o stage

to sure about the cpu effect, try to play without effects
first try playing 1 clip and check the performance
add effect and check performance
then try with two and three layer etc... compare the difference...

hope the helps

Hi, its Muttermotion [ mutter98@yahoo.com ]
just curious, can i setup the video file at 720x576 PAL 25fps & play it back with resolume for all the visual needed?
will it be play smooth with out delayed when i change the video file?

my PC setup are:
AMD athlon xp 1,8
1 giga RAM 133
1 40Giga 7200 rpm HD for system
2 80Giga 7200 rpm HD for data
Matrox G450 dualhead

right now i use lot of flash & mpeg files, but lately i'm not satisfied with the quality of the video, so i like to re-render all my video-loop into avi High Res (720x576)

please, i need to know before i re -render all my works

640x480 would be plenty coming out a projector I think, I'm not sure how much better 720x576 would actually look on the wall.

Use an MJPEG or indeo (keyframe every frame) codec too.

Ther's a lot on this in the forum, do a search.
