the movie player example is a frontend to MPlayer program. 
So if you're install MPlayer on Mac OS X, it'll work. 

The webcam example program uses the gb.v4l component. 
As i said, this component is only available on GNU/Linux. 

Here is a screenshot to PDF View example program :

I don't know the Quartz server. I'm not a Cocoa developer 
and Gambas often uses X11 system function calls. 
To hope oneday getting Gambas using Qt/Cocoa on Mac OS X, 
we must develop similar code to specific functions of X11. 
That's not so easy unfortunately.
