the trick is to run with "-stderr" and get the logs from the terminal.

Thanks, IOhannes ! Didn't know that method. That's more verbose alright ;-)

========================================================

verbose(3): [GEM:filmGMERLIN:track] No video decoder found for fourcc ULY0 (0x554c5930) verbose(4): [GEM:filmGMERLIN] track 0 does not contain a video-stream: skipping Pixelformat not specified for video frame [pix_film]: loaded file: /home/oliver/flatterstreifen_ut.avi with 299 frames (640x480) at 25.000000 fps frames: 299 640 480 25 Pd: signal 6

========================================================

so i guess that means filmGMERLIN can't decode "UT" natively, right ?

anything i could do about it ? i can't seem to find "UT" as a seperate installable binary for Linux. It's just part of ffmpeg's codecs i guess.

Anyway, here's my full pd.log, in case it helps:

Are there any recommendations for lossless or high quality codecs with GEM (preferably also with Alpha channel support) ?

Thanks for all info !

Best
