I'm loading a .mov video in v4.81. The video loader progress bar gets to 79%, then returns to 20% and climbs again, and keeps skipping back to 20% every time it gets past 79%. At first the loop appeared to be endless, but after letting the video load for a while and coming back later, I discovered it had eventually terminated and the video was in memory. Is this normal? How many times should I expect to have to wait through the loop?
This is the normal progress bar behavior when loading a video with Xuggle. Each iteration of the progress from 20 to 80% represents 1200 frames loaded.
This behavior is needed since Xuggle cannot determine how many frames the video has in advance. When loading a video specified in a trk file, the frame count IS known and the progress bar does not iterate.
Thanks for the prompt reply! That explains it. My video is 16112 frames, so must have iterated 14 times, each iteration taking a minute or so, and when you don't know what a program is supposed to be doing, 14 min. ~ ?.
