Actually it is not just .avi files that make pd crash, maybe it is the mjpeg codec?
This is an example of a file that crashes pd

I just tried on Pd version 0.42-5extended-20101206
Anny ideas?
I miss playing videos with pd.
works fine here.
i don't know which decoding library your build of Gem uses, but chances are that you have either lqt and/or gmerlin. you can see which decoding libs you have when you create the first [pix_film] object. you should get something like:
<snip> pix_film:: quicktime support pix_film:: libmpeg3 support pix_film:: libaviplay support </snip> on your pd-console.
if you have "quicktime support" (meaning "lqt"), you should try to play the video with "lqtplay" (which is part of quicktime-x11utils on debian). if this crashes as well, your libquicktime is broken (read: it's nothing Gem can do anything about)
