in the old (1.4, 1.5, 1.6?) pygame the smpeg using .movie worked out of 
the box also on windows. it only supports/-ed mpeg1 and was not too 
reliable for everything, but was still usable for production (i made one 
thing using it for the local science center)

i guess you could still install an old version if how the old 
pygame.movie works is all you need :)

yah, hopefully things are going good there .. wrapping the ffmpeg libs 
is a nice idea (worked well also in how Pete did it directly for pygame 
in the new movie module, but i guess that was left experimental and is 
replaced by pymedia usage now).
