If someone could build a current windows mpeg3 plugin then maybe the 
problem will go away with the fixes that have been done in this area 
perhaps performance will improve given some of the code changes that 
have happen over the last couple of years.

For now look for issues about file name case sensitivities.

/* Test file extension in obsolete windows mpeg plugin

			if(strncasecmp(ext, ".mp2", 4) &&
				strncasecmp(ext, ".mp3", 4) &&
				strncasecmp(ext, ".m1v", 4) &&
				strncasecmp(ext, ".m2v", 4) &&
				strncasecmp(ext, ".m2s", 4) &&
				strncasecmp(ext, ".mpg", 4) &&
				strncasecmp(ext, ".vob", 4) &&
				strncasecmp(ext, ".mpeg", 4) /* JMM &&
				strncasecmp(ext, ".ac3", 4) )
				result = 0;
		} */

where strncasecmp  *might be* case sensitive. In the current code 
base this whole step is commented out. This assumes of course the 
plugin is loading of course.
