Summary: pix_film crashes with homer.avi in ubuntu

Initial Comment:
When opening the file homer.avi which is included in Gem's example folder, pix_film causes Pd-Extended to crash.
Happens 100% of the times

Tested with Pd Extended 0.42.5 on Ubuntu 10.04

Message:
please provide more information: 
- which version of Gem (i don't use Pd-extended, i don't know which
version of PdX comes with wchich version of Gem)

- which backends are enabled for video decoding in [pix_film] (qt4l, avi,
,....)
- which versions of the relevant decoding libraries do you have installed
(libquicktime, libavifile,...) on your system

if it is qt4l you are using, could you try to check whether lqtplay (comes
with quicktime-x11utils) is able to play the file?
if lqtplay crashes as well, please file a bugreport at quicktime. it is
nothing Gem can do anything about
