been reading some previous discussions, and it seems like the best
codec for pix_film is mjpeg, as in not-cpu-expensive. if i encode my
movies with ffmpeg with parameters

I usually follow the following workflow for encoding :

First I grab some video from a random source and run it through mencoder to get a mjpeg avi without sound :

# mencoder INPUT -o OUTPUT -ovc lavc -lavcopts vbitrate=1800:vcodec=mjpeg -nosound
( these files work perfectly in veejay btw )

Then I run it through ffmpeg to turn it into a quicktime file :

# ffmpeg -i INPUT(.avi) -vcodec copy OUTPUT(.mov)

You should find that pix_film has no problem opening the resulting .mov  files :)

Enjoy!
