Re: [pygame] [BUG] pygame 1.8.1 beta 2 movie module plays MPEG file's sound, but not video

[Lenard Lindstrom <len-l@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have confirmed the bug for Windows XP. I am practically clueless as to 
what could causing it. One thing I didn't verify is that Windows XP is 
actually using the windib video driver. Jason, if you wouldn't mind 
would you set the SDL_VIDEODRIVER environment variable to windib and try 
again.

Thanks,

Lenard
