I've mentioned this before but with all versions of GEM that I've used on WinXP, AVI's crash PD. Quicktime, however, DOES work, despite something in the help file saying that it doesn't work on Win. So I've been using Quicktime movies that I find.
There have been improvements made recently to the Windows movie code.
My only problem with it, is that there is no open source editor for
quicktime movies, whereas if AVI could work I could use Virtual Dub or something similar. Seems like we really need some kind of cross-platform, high-quality video standard for open source, like OGG or FLAC for audio. In the meantime, I can't really use my own video - I'm stuck stealing whatever quicktime movies I can find on the net, which is far from ideal.
