thanks IOhannes for being patient.
well, i am still a bit unsure. do you mean that the stuff i described
below canNOT be recorded at all within puredata? i.e. do i have to make
a recording using the ouput of the graphic card?

i am now trying to record a single rectangle moving over the Gem window.
do i have to use pix_snap synchronized with pix_record to take a
sequence of snapshots? (i only get a green video output).

Yes, you need pix_snap to get the contents of the  gemwin.  You may need to send a 'colorspace RGBA' message to pix_record on OSX.
