You'll need to get this built yourself. You'll need to build or get
binaries for the libavcodec and libavformat libraries. These live inside
the ffmpeg project as libraries. This may be the hardest part of the
process.

Then you must do a build of Pygame. When that is done, edit the "Setup"
file and uncomment the line for "movieext". Run the build again and this
time it will have the movieext module.

This is far easier on Linux/BSD than on Windows. The libavcodec and
libavformat libraries do work on Windows though.

How come it's not in the standard precompiled version on the pygame.org download page? I would have thought the standard version ought to include all documented modules...?

Anyway, since I don't have the ability to compile Pygame on this machine, I'll check out livavformat, that may work for me.
