I think it's actually a bug, because I've renamed the file QuickTime.qts in
the folder /usr/lib/codecs to c:\windows\system\QuickTime.qts,
so now the complete path is the one I get from the output
(/usr/lib/codecs/c:\windows\system\QuickTime.qts)  and it loads the codec
(crashing anyway because it's a ProRes Video).
