oops !
i have found a really bad memory-leak in my sources !
it is fixed now (but not yet online) - wait 24h....

anyhow: there is still a (small) memory-leak (the one thyt appears with 
[pix_film]). this is windows only and i do think (or: hope) that it is 
really a windows-bug. the used memory increases for 400k (or 40k?) each 
time, an AVI is opened.

does anyone know another application that opens A LOT (1000s) of avi's ?
