this seems to be a problem in the gmerlin backend.

could you try with the quicktime4linux backend ? [loader quicktime4linux( (before opening the file)

i performed simple test in linux debian bullseye with gmerlin, but it was working well with this 3.5GB file

Obviously Gmerlin-avcodec cannot handle the ProRes codec.
