Hallo!
the CVS versions of [pix_film]/[pix_movie] are now threaded and should behave much better. however it uses pthreads, so it is likely to not work with a standard windows build (but i guess you could do that with mingw)
why should it not work on windows? even pd uses pthreads, also on windows. And it can be compiled with msvc and MinGW (but you will need different dlls) ...
LG Georg
