...yeh, I'd just like to add that you should also be using an intel- 
native version of pd, the only one of which I know is available from  
miller's site...I'm actually surprised to hear that ppc-compiled pd/ 
gem works at all on macintel...

...also, it might be helpful to know what quicktime version you're  
using?
