I just loaded the pix_film example from Guenter's CVS version. Upon loading the alea.mpg file from the distro pix_film reports -1 frames, and scrubbing the frames simply advances the frame by one each time the number changes (in either direction) The mov works fine.

this is not really a bug, but looks like compiled with libmpeg1 rather than libmpeg3 this means, that movie-files are interpreted as streams, which have no known length, and thus are set to 1

Thanks Johannes,
If only everything was that easy a fix! ;)
I had to link include/mpeg3 -> include/libmpeg3
Thanks Ben

I found the libmpeg1 somehow very buggy, and furthermore it just does an "exit" when it fails to load a file, which leads to surpises somehow.
libmpeg3 is not very accessible, so I vote to support the following libraries:
http://libmpeg2.sourceforge.net/ http://avifile.sourceforge.net/
For the beginning we could include the two versions in the GemLibs tarball.

i have used libmpeg3 because it was more stable and had more features than libmpeg1. I didn't know about libmpeg2 and it's features.
however, since i knew that libmpeg3 wasn't that available i thought it would be best to configure it out, which one to take
of course, avifile has to be included...

i have always thought of the GemLibs to provide libraries that are not packaged (with debian as the reference distribution) but seeing, that libmpeg2 is cross-platform (at least linux/windoze) (and not very big) this is a very strong reason to add it to the GemLibs

hey ben,
...assuming that you are talking about the OS X version, this is known, and has to do with the way that quicktime loads .mpg's, in addition to the way that pix_film plays movies...basically, quicktime can't tell how many frames there are in advance in an mpg, and I haven't found a way around this that I like...so, with os X, we're kinda stuck with formats that quicktime knows about...
btw, did you get my email last nite? something seems to be screwy with eudora all of a sudden...but I had written about a new idea on how to copile your external with project builder...
l8r, jamie
