and what image size are your movies?
And what codec?

no i dont think its bad.

there were no changes that would affect performance...

you are doing more than your macbook can handle.
it doesnt have great graphics performance.

catalyst is designed to work on desktop machines with powerful graphics cards.

if running on powerbooks/macbooks/mac mini- you have to work within the limits of those machines.

i think you are just completely overloading your macbook.....
syncing 3 movies on your macbook just is not going to work.
the less powerful your machine - the more conservatively you have to use it.
There is no magic.

sure !

What I say it's that if I running 3 movies ( little one ) they do very well . If I use sync there is a bug that woun't re-sync after the loop it's finished , that's ( I think ) it's not about macmini or macbook . Pls check your self .

saying things are just bad doesnt help me or you at all....

you have to at least say what you are doing, and how you are doing it.

i didnt change anything to affect performance - you need to tell me what you did.

what do you see?

what do you mean re-sync after movie finished?

How long - in frames - is each movie?

I dont see anything you describe here.

i think we discovered emil was using 'play audio' which does not work with sync.

as quicktime prioritises audio over video.

Well ... not exactly , layer two was not playing audio .

Anyway to stop you complain about my little macbook , I did try everythings with a bigger system.

Here it's the result :

When using Matrox boxes - you have cannot mix output resolutions, or mix dual head to Go with triple head.

Both outputs need to be the same size, shape, and refresh
