you can see which decoding backends are used when you create the first
[pix_film].
it should say something like:
pix_film:: DirectShow support
pix_film:: QuickTime support

and yes, the [open bla.avi 1( should still work (what it does is: first
try to open the file with the "1"st codec, and if that fails try all
codecs starting from 0)
eventually i want to get rid of numbers, as this is not very portable
(and replace it by a symbolic id, like "QuickTime")
