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. ...
I also don't know, I use pdextended from the Nightly Auto-Builds
when I create the first pix_film I get:
pix_film:: quicktime support pix_film:: libmpeg3 support
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)
I think you are right, lqtplay crashes with the same error, I wonder if I can fix this.

Here's what I do to any video I want to use in pd:
mencoder $1 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mjpeg:vpass=1 -oac pcm -o $1_pd.avi ffmpeg -i $1_pd.avi -ar 44100 $1_pd.wav
the second line extracts the audio into a separate wav file. has always worked for me so far...
This works very good. thank you!
Looks like I will have to convert all my videos now.
Thank you all for the help.
Have a nice day.
