this is out of date.
it is true for [pix_movie], BUT::
with [pix_film] you *can* do image-processing !

there is the [pix_rgba] object that tries to convert all non
rgba-formats to rgba which can then be processed by other objects, like
pix_mask

in fact, this is the problem, since normally movies will store data in rgb.
to avoid overhead, pix_movie (and pix_film) do *not* convert the data to
rgba-space.
almost all pix-objects have methods for rgba-images (which are "colour"
in Gem) but some do not have methods for other colour-spaces, like "rgb"
(which are called "gray" -- though obviously they are not)

well, ok.
what i said above applies to gem-0.87 only.
try it.
there are no precompiled binaries for windows right now, but the sources
(which can be found somewhere at
ftp://iem.kug.ac.at/pd/Externals/GEM/LINUX ) should definitely compile
under both windows and linux.

i do not think that this is a good solution for movies (when they are
longer than some secs)
