There is no direct support for MPEG video in PythonCard or wxPython, which
PythonCard relies on. Under Windows you should be able to play MPEG video by
wrapping the Windows Media Player ActiveX control or another control that
handles MPEG such as the QuickTime or Real players. There are examples of
using ActiveX controls in the demo.py file that ships with wxPython.

Last fall I did some tests with mapping a PyGame surface to a native window
in PythonCard that sort of worked, but I haven't followed up on it since
then to know whether PyGame (which uses the SDL library) could be used for
reliable cross-platform MPEG playback in PythonCard; there is a good chance
it might work.
