it works perfectly with [pix_data] (there is no such thing like "still
image" vs "video stream" in Gem (which has also a lot of drawbacks)

true.

[pix_movie] directly applies the video as a texture (and does not put
add it to the pixel-buffer-render-chain).
[pix_movie] is far older than [pix_film] (which was named differently to
stay compatible)

i think the help-files mention that though.
