Only one frame is loaded into memory at a time by GEM.  Quicktime may
establish it's own buffers depending on the codec type which is a process we
have no control over.  I haven't seen any memory leaks from pix_film/movie
on OSX and pieces using up to 16 of those objects have run for many months
(wndows is a different story though).
