Yup, big thanks to JMM for making the MPEGPlugin.

There is a java MPEG player 'out there' so why not a Squeak one? 
I've been looking into writing one but the logic is too overwhelming
at the moment. If more people were interested I would be happy
to collaborate though. 
A pure smalltalk MPEG video player would be too slow for anything but
research though, but with Slang and native compiling, it would be 
a great contribution to 'the effort' :-)
