Hey Johannes,
The text should probably changed to something that makes more sense perhaps:
FFMPEG loader FAILED... Maybe quicktime? quicktime4linux loader FAILED... Maybe mpeg? MPEG3 loader FAILED... I give up... error: GEM: pix_film: Unable to open file: /raid0/media/dv_capture1.mov
As for quicktime DV files I'm anoyed. I know I've played QT DV files in Gem on linux before, on a suse9 machine maybe a year ago... I just compiled Gem using whatever libs were installed, and boom it would load quicktime DV files.
So how do I get my machine to load quicktime DV files?
mplayer plays them fine.
Totem plays them fine (and reports the codec as "DV (ffmpeg)" )
vlc does not play it, tries to load as a MPEG PS (whatever that is)
ffplay does not play it (unknown format) I tried ffplay -img [bleh] but none of the results of ffmpeg -formats is a valid "format" (including dv, dvvideo etc..)
Anyone have this working?? I even recompiled Gem with libavcodeccvs from the mplayer repository still no dice... It it was not so easy that first time.... *sigh*
Any tips appreciated.

Hey all,
All great, then when I create a pix_movie I get:
pix_film:: libffmpeg support pix_film:: quicktime support pix_film:: libmpeg3 support
Still looking good. When I try and load my DV quicktime:
FFMPEG: unsupported! quicktime4linux: unsupported! MPEG3: unsupported! error: GEM: pix_film: Unable to open file: /raid0/media/dv_capture1.mov
oh, this is just a misunderstanding. the "unsupported!"-printout just indicates, that the given API was unable to open your file (so quicktime4linux probably does not recognize the DV-codec of dv_capture1.mov)
