[PD] stability of Gem for video playing

I have an installation running 9-12 simultaneous small quicktimes on XP for
about year now (FWISH @ http://mrtof.danslchamp.org/). I do not know of any
crashes.

Gem XP crashes when you switch quicktimes. I made an abstraction that solves
this problem. If you need it, I can send it. It is not final but works.

If you want to DIY, just create a separate pix_film (or pix_movie) for every
quicktime. Then with Zexy's demux, send the gem "signal" to the selected
movie to play. SUPER STABLE!
