[PD] advise on making mjpeg, pdp and libquicktime happy

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Hmm, I wonder what magic the pure:dyne people used?  It would be very  
good to incorporate that into Pd-extended.  Luckily we are meeting on  
the 22nd to discuss that :D.

I notice your movie is an AVI, libquicktime is for Quicktime format,  
i.e .mov (but I guess you can also getting working with AVIs, like  
pure:dyne).  I think you should try to convert your movie to a .MOV.   
VLC makes it really easy with it's "wizard", under the "File" menu.
