Hi I'm trying to run a video using pix_film in Gem but it is extremely slow. I'm in Linux. The video was created via mencoder. Here is the output from mplayer -identify .. Any idea why it chugs along so slowly. It plays fine in mplayer. I'm just using the pix_film help patch to test it. Thanks.

Jim
