Message:
i assume the k32BGRAPixelFormat -> k32ARGBPixelFormat is on macintel as
well?
(just to be sure; it seems like on my G4 i cannot select any of the
RGBA-colorspaces, so i cannot really test)

Message:
here my suggestion from April … think is still the same. or?

yes the RGBA channels are set wrong on mac osx. the cube appears blue
because the alpha channel is read as blue.
when you change channels like this 
R –> G 
G –> R 
B –> A 
A –> B
the movie will justified. but it´s not handy to give each record this
process so  
i fixed this with a change in the code of recordQT.cpp in line 241 -
instead of colorspace = k32BGRAPixelFormat;
i use colorspace = k32ARGBPixelFormat;
but i don´t know how this affects other os

also the recorded mov is upside down - this can fix in quicktime pro with
a click in the properties of the video track -
so i don´t looked for the code issue.

Message:
please refer to the thread “strange colors with pix_record” on the
list.
codec was defaulting to “video” but that doesn't seem to have
influence on it.
didn't try it with pixes but doubt that would make a difference.
and yes - changing the colorspace with pix_yuv is a workaround, it works
then.

Message:
which codec are you using?
does it work when just recording a pix (as aquired by pix_film)
does it work if you manually change the colorspace, e.g. with [pix_yuv]
resp. [pix_rgba]
