AFAIK, Quicktime is dead at 32-bit, and there is a totally new API for
64-bit. Check gem-dev for more info, Chris Clepper has posted more
about it. But since gmerlin, gstreamer and other backends work on Mac
OS X and work in 64-bit, Gem could be build for 64-bit Mac OS X using
those. Then that would lose the highly optimized backend stuff in
Quicktime.
