Maybe the video is corrupt, have you tried transcoding the video with mencoder or transcode?
Try
$ mencoder -ovc xvid -xvidencopts bitrate=800 -oac copy -o train.avi train.mov
and load the film train.avi
hi thomas
maybe i missed something, but i don't quite see why you are suggesting to reencode the movie to avi-container with xvid codec.
I don't have much experience with different codecs/containers and Gem, but - as I said - my first guess is, that the movie is somehow corrupt. So 1. reencoding the movie would be an option to check for this, 2. mencoder is easy to install on a Linux system and 3. this is a setting that works on my system, as mencoder with -ovc lavc produces movies, that Gem (pd-extended 0.39-3 on Debian) can't load. That was merely an idea for troubleshooting.
