memory usage of the pd thread is constantly increasing when the helppatch of pix_flip is used with a pix_video object instead of an image on os x. ben bogart reports that for linux too.
pix_flip sporadically doesn't flip single frames when applied to video when working under os x. cyrille reports it is working on linux though.
workaround is to reverse the orientation of the geo the pix is textured on instead of using pix_flip.
it would be very useful if pix_buffer_fimopen could report frame numbers and size of the loaded movie just like fpix_film does. and while at it: maybe also report with a bang when it's finished loading.
