One thing to look for is the suffix. Squeak likes mpeg or mpg, but not
MPG or MPEG. 

The plugin uses libmpeg3, so I'd expect that stuff built using later
libraries (or maybe proprietary extensions) won't work. It's possible
that there may also be issues with compression.

Other than that, I can only confirm that some will run, others will lock
up Squeak.

HTH a little
