Yeah the error I got with Pd 0.47.1/ Gem 0.93.3 is:
"filmQT: Could not initialize quicktime: error -209"
I DID install Quicktime and error went away but again, Quicktime on Windows is now depreciated so in the future....?
yes, it's encouraged to drop it from windows machines for security reasons.
my workaround for this:
since all of my MAX/PD/VVVV videos are encoded with the "photojpeg" or "mjpeg" codec (as these proved to be having the best size/performance ratio and they work best when frames are directly called - i.e. a video has to be synched with sound) you can easily just switch the container by renaming a file "xxx.mov" to "xxx.avi"
perhaps you might need to install "ffdshow" for windows to make it work, i didn't check. other than that, AVI files with "mjpeg" codec play fine with GEM.
(my setup ATM is Pd 0.46.7 / Gem 0.93.3)
best
