The unix VM includes MPEGPlugin. I'm not sure about the Mac and
Windows VMs, although I would have expected it to be there also.
I am away from Squeak for a couple of days so I can't reproduce
your test right now. Can you clarify which platform this is,
and is the MPEGPlugin missing entirely, or is it present but
not working correctly?

Thanks!
