It seems that Apple has a similar API to Quicktime called QTKit that is 64-bit compatible. Would this work for Gem?

It won't make GEM 64 bit because the OpenGL window code is all Carbon. Plus, Quicktime is far from 64 bit clean - there isn't a 64 bit Final Cut Pro for example. Apple has completely fucked up Quicktime, and they don't seem to have a clue as to how to fix it.
I do plan on adding some CoreVideo code to pix_movie/film at some point, which should help compatibility.

i was thinking about how much work it would be to implement that in cacoa...ObjC++ allows to mingle C++ and ObjC very nicely, afaict.

you mean "completely", like not only in Carbon, but everywhere?

that'll be awesome.
