Message: Hi,

Here's the output from GEM at initialization:

GEM: Graphics Environment for Multimedia GEM: ver: 0.92.3 GEM: compiled: Sep 22 2010 ... GEM: compiled for SIMD architecture: MMX GEM: using MMX optimization

And here's the output when I create a pix_video object:

pix_film:: quicktime support pix_film:: libmpeg3 support

I can't see any output when I send it the "open" message to open homer.avi because it immediately crashes.

However, indeed lqtplay crashes as well, so I guess it is an issue in quicktime itself. I'l file a bug report at quicktime (if it is possible at all).

Thanks m.

Message: please provide more information: - which version of Gem (i don't use Pd-extended, i don't know which version of PdX comes with wchich version of Gem)

- which backends are enabled for video decoding in [pix_film] (qt4l, avi, ,....) - which versions of the relevant decoding libraries do you have installed (libquicktime, libavifile,...) on your system

if it is qt4l you are using, could you try to check whether lqtplay (comes with quicktime-x11utils) is able to play the file? if lqtplay crashes as well, please file a bugreport at quicktime. it is nothing Gem can do anything about
