...since you've tried these things and they don't help, I'm inclined  
to believe there's something special about this clip:  is it an  
edited clip from a longer sequence?  I ask this because it could be  
that the last frame is somehow doubled/repeated, but there may be a  
loop point which quicktime player sees and obeys, but gem simply  
ignores...

...my experience with pdp_qt has been spotty on osx, mainly being a  
matter of finding a codec that actually gets recognized  
correctly...it's been awhile since I really played with it, but I  
seem to remember either cinepak or sorenson consistently doing pretty  
well...?
