Finding Plugins: MPEG files not valid?

I'm eager to try the Movie-JPEG format, but I can't get any MPEGs
converted to Movie-JPEG. The problem isn't the JPEG plugin -- I
can't open any MPEGs! I know that I used to be able to, but in a
completely-updated 3.2 image, running the 3.1.1 Mac VM (not OS X),
every MPEG or MP3 file I try comes back as being invalid MPEG. These
are files that I can successfully play in QT Movie Player and in
iTunes.
I've been wondering if I even have the MPEG plugin -- maybe the
primitive is bombing because the module can't be found. I've tried
downloading the MPEG plugin from www.squeak.org in the
3.0/mac/extra_files directory, but with the same result.
Some questions:
- Is there a more recent MPEG plugin somewhere?
- Is the MPEG plugin built in to the Mac VM? How can I find out? I
know that there's a way of getting an array of all the available
plugins, but I can't find it anywhere in the image.
- Are there specific MPEG versions that work or don't work?
- Can anyone point me to valid MPEG files that Squeak can read that I
can try this?
Thanks!
