I've been using mjpeg encoded .avi video and that's worked the best for me with GEM on Ubuntu. However, I highly recommend installing GEM with gmerlin (gavl) support as it drastically sped up playback on my machine. I had to compile it in myself but I think there might be a daily build .deb floating around somewhere. To compile, I got gavl libraries etc. from Roman's PPA https://launchpad.net/~reduzierer/+ppa-packages
Oh what I actually wanted to say, are you sure your libquicktime actually supports mjpeg?
I am on Gentoo linux here, and my libquicktime is compiled as following :
"X aac alsa dv encode ffmpeg gtk jpeg mmx opengl png schroedinger vorbis x264 -doc -lame"
(which basically means I get everything inside beside the documentation (which is mirrored online mostly anyway) and the MP3 encoding support (but I hardly ever use audio in video material))
Unfortunately, I have no clue if Ubuntu has anything similar to this, maybe different versions you can pick from the repository?
