can you explain exactly how the new filmDarwin would be different 
than pix_filmDarwin?  i think i see the usefulness for linux and the 
many libs required to play various types of files, but the OSX stuff 
looks exactly the same.  maybe we could use ffmpeg for OSX too, but 
overall the platform dependencies are still there just under 
different names.

pix_film already has the alias, but pix_video doesn't at the moment. 
also, there is pix_filmYUV and yuv_videoDarwin because GL doesn't 
like switching color-spaces for textures.  so right now the render 
chain has to be initialized as YUV or RGB and kept that way or the 
textures will get corrupted.

you might want to familiarize yourself with the differences between 
OSX and the other GEM versions, like using pix_texture2 for rectangle 
textures, and using YUV instead of RGB for much better performance.
