[PD] [GEM] gem and video ?

[Yves Degoyon]

hi,

thanks for your hints, you're right,
gem works if you ignore this message
which seemed to me as a fatal error,
but, no, after that, it "somewhat" works.

I say it "somewhat" works because
many examples won't load due to various
problems :

* missing venus.obj for many examples
* it doesn't find "pix-movie" object
( must be a compilation problem )

anyway, I've got the answers I wanted
on gem's capability regarding video,
so, thanks again.

cheers,

Yves Degoyon.
