works fine here.

i don't know which decoding library your build of Gem uses, but chances
are that you have either lqt and/or gmerlin.
you can see which decoding libs you have when you create the first
[pix_film] object. you should get something like:
<snip>
pix_film:: quicktime support
pix_film:: libmpeg3 support
pix_film:: libaviplay support
</snip>
on your pd-console.

if you have "quicktime support" (meaning "lqt"), you should try to play
the video with "lqtplay" (which is part of quicktime-x11utils on debian).
if this crashes as well, your libquicktime is broken (read: it's nothing
Gem can do anything about)
