i found the flag to set for high_quality and added that to the code. 
there are several other modes and i will look into adding those as 
well.

well if you want to donate a capture device then that wouldn't be greedy....

s-video has a resolution of 640x480, in fact it has to in order to 
support NTSC (it's actually the _only resolution for NTSC).  the OSX 
monitor panel doesn't show it by default for some reason, but if you 
uncheck 'Show modes recommended by display' it will allow 640x480.

what sort of crash occurs?  what's the hardware?

>Any chance of putting a titlebar on the non-external display window?

sure, at some point.  that requires an event loop for the window, 
which could be tricky.  also, another event loop is exactly what 
pd+GEM does not need at this point.
