I don't have much experience with different codecs/containers and Gem, but - as I said - my first guess is, that the movie is somehow corrupt. So 1. reencoding the movie would be an option to check for this, 2. mencoder is easy to install on a Linux system and 3. this is a setting that works on my system, as mencoder with -ovc lavc produces movies, that Gem (pd-extended 0.39-3 on Debian) can't load. That was merely an idea for troubleshooting. cu Thomas -- "Prisons are needed only to provide the illusion that courts and police are effective. They're a kind of job insurance."
