pix_movie directly textures the image.  On OSX it uses some tricks to improve performance when dealing with HD resolution clips.  I will have a look into the 'colorspace' issue although I will say that RGB isn't the most efficient path to use.

ok, thanks for clarification.

but what about pix_movie, it seems to be in another
domain than pix_image because i cannot apply the
processes to it that i can apply to pix_image. also
pix_image "needs" either pix_draw or pix_texture ->
pix_rectangle, while pix_movie goes directly into
pix_rectangle without an intermitting pix_texture, and
it cannot be plugged into pix_draw ...?
