Quicktime isn't needed for Gem video playback, but FFMPEG should be at 
hand, to provide fast and quick video conversion.

my best experience with Gem on win is using an MJPEG codec within an 
.avi container. you will probably need ffdshow codecs (or another codec 
pack that contains mjpeg) to play them.

make sure to have 32bit versions of PD, Gem, AND your codecs !

another fine codec that works with Gem is UT (higher quality images but 
larger filesices). in general all image-based codecs for the .avi 
container that are installed and running on windows should work. wmv 
probably too

best
