Hello
cinepack crashes pd with my computer under winXP, gem-90.1,
uncompressed avi files are running fine,
and some quicktime files are running good too (jpg codec particulary)
My favorite format for playing a video in GEM is the image files
with using a metro connected to [pix_image] or something similar
