Hi;
I built a patch under extended-4 that used pix_video and counter.
Under extended-5, the pix_video renders the video stream in an odd
way on my machine: I only get a section of the image with an iSight,
but I get the whole thing with a normal DV camera. Can anybody tell
me why, and how to fix it?
Also, counter seems to be acting differently... is anybody else
getting this?

Try setting the dimensions to 640x480 (dimen 640 480) or opening the QT dialog with the dialog message. The root of iSight related problems is that the iSight is a terrible video device and the QT code for it is equally bad. Apple doesn't even use the QT code for any of their iSight based apps.
A DV cam is a far better source to use.

The counter object is no longer part of GEM but comes from another library (maxlib?) so that is probably why it is different.

yes, i've seen it under osx, one fix is to make all the counter
connections again and save the patch the will be ext-5 only since the
outlets of the object will appear displaced or broke under ext-4 one
other thing to try is to just copy (right click the Pd application
icon and go into Show contents) the counter from inside Resources/
extra/ from your extended-4 to the extra folder inside the extended-5
contents.

...gem's [counter] has been removed and is now available as [markex/
counter]...it's likely that you're currently getting another counter,
possibly from maxlib? You might also try [gem_counter]...
