Low fps with MacMini on Windows

zdigital

Hello,

I've a very low fps with simple patch (i.e. just one movie player and one projector) when I run Isadora on Windows 7.

My hardware : Mac mini 2013, Intel HD 4000, SSD, i7, just the best mac mini one year ago...

My computer have 2 video output : 1 HDMI, 1 Thunterbold (with DVI adapter). Both at 1920x1080

Patch and Stage (fullscreen all times) on HDMI : good fps (>50)

Patch on HDMI, Stage on DVI : low fps (20-25)

Patch on DVI, Stage on HDMI : low fps (20-25)

Patch and Stage on DVI : low fps (25-50).

The same patch on osx is running at 60-80 fps.

On windows the driver is installed...

My english is bad, i hope you understand me and you can help me. Some body have a idea ???

Is it the mac or the windows machine that it's running slow?

Dear zdigital,

What is the resolution of the video you are attempting to play?

If you are running Windows natively on the mini Mac, then I would suggest that you enable the "Play Windows Movie Formats Natively" in the preferences and convert your movies to AVI or WMV. You'll see a big improvement in performance.

Best Wishes,

Mark
