yes i use ramdisk XP and it works awesome, my video is uncompressed (cuz the compressed ones take up more processor time + resolumes speed bug is REALLY annoying) and playback realtime of a video file in each channel works fluently, definately something worth a try

a RAMdisc is a section of your PC's RAM that has been allocated to appear as a drive on your PC. Because it is actually RAM not a hard drive - access speeds are much higher.

Good idea guys!
Is there a way to automatcaly load the 3 played movies in ram to reduce the hard disk work?
Maybe in a futur version of Resolume?

if you mean the 3 "layers" in resolume - i don't think that would really work - resolume would need some kind of command to copy the selected movie into the ramdisk, then trigger it. that would make triggering quite slow.
You'd be better off trying to load as many clips as possible onto ramdisk, then load them as a deck

Thats pretty cool when
http://www.pricewatch.com show 1gig of pc133 ram at $124 (and its an Nec stick). If your chipset can handle it, thats a pretty cheap, and huge, ramdisk.
