Jason, thanks for the tip.
I have the impression something is going wrong between Squeak and the MpegPlugin.dll. It appears that any primitive involving the plugin fails.
I can imagine the following 
- I have the wrong combination of plugin and VM versions (VM 3.1, MpegPlugin.dll from 15/03/2001)
- I have the wrong combination of plugin and image versions? (image 3.2g4811)
- The plugin is placed in the wrong directory (currently in VM directory)
- The plugin needs additional libraries (don't know)

Can anyone hand me some tips on how to test if the plugin is 'seen' by the VM?
