First I'll point out that open in the file list, requires support in  
the file list logic so that it knows what to do
with the file. see FileList>>openAsMovie and who calls that. Also  
consider what happens on drag and drop.

Now it seems to me someone (not me) should go away and look at what  
support for file types then ensure
FileList and relatives (drag & drop) actually do the right thing...

Lastly ensure you're using the latest mpegPlugin

ftp://st.cs.uiuc.edu/Smalltalk/Squeak/3.2/mac/noncarbonplugins/

Earlier versions of the plugin were a bit careless in considering file  
ends and the like and
would decide an mpeg file was not an mpeg file for bogus reasons.

PS please report an issues with sound drop out, there could be some  
adjustments to the squeak sound layer you
might need to make on your older macintosh.
