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?
