too bad. does it work with the directshow backend of [pix_film]? (just don't enforce the use of QuickTime for decoding...)
Yes it does. So I guess that: - I do have a codec to read those files through DirectX - I don't have a codec to read those files through QuickTime (does this make sense? Or I just have a codec that for some reason is compatible with DirectX but not with QuickTime) - Gem crashes (instead of issuing an error) if can't decode the video.
Note that Quick Time Player doesn't crash when I open those files, just displays a blank white non-video (it doesn't give any error message which is not a corret behaviour either)
Note that Gem does load the file and display information (size and duration) but crashes when I create the gemwin.
Windows says these files are "PVMJPEG". QuickTime says they are "Motion JPEG Open DML 720 by 240"
