[PD] Why does PixelTANGO crash on Pd-extended 0.38 on Windows XP?

[Thomas Ouellet Fredericks]

Quicktime works great.
Follow the link (http://mrtof.danslchamp.org/pd/synchedvideo.zip)  for 
v33.readvf: it loads multiple movies (it creates a pix_film for every movie 
loaded... you do not need to load the same movie twice).
