ffmpeg/Threading issues in 1.8.0?

Status: in case it helps…

After regenerating a new Panda-1.8.0 after David’s reported FMOD change yesterday evening in
the CVS. (as per [setOneShot and RTMCopyRam?) )

config:

(build Windows7 --no-python --optimize 4)

  load_prc_file_data("", "lock-to-one-cpu 0");
  load_prc_file_data("", "support-threads 1");
  load_prc_file_data("", "sync_video 1");

+ 4 task_chains

PLUS: :smiley:

Not getting anymore 
:movies:ffmpeg(warning): Invalid and inefficient vfw-avi packed B frames detected 

Not getting anymore weird sound acceleration, ie strange audio phenomenon that was happening whenever a sound->play() was issued in a task_chain

average FPS = 59.8 fps !!

bullet ok

MINUS: :cry:

Still sporadic app freezes, "ie application not responding".

That’s it for the time being:
Will try to make a panda built with --override “DEBUG_THREADS = 1”
