For the curious, somewhere along the way the Sophie team decided to go
with Quicktime as the primary media source because Apple bundles it with
iTunes, and given the iPod/iPhone monopoly why finding Quicktime on a
Windows machine now is fully expected. However you must choose your
codec carefully some videos formats we would find would be there on
Windows, but not there on Macintosh. Also if you use OGG that is not a
default
Quicktime codec, for that reason we bundled the OGG squeak players
with Sophie so that we could fall back to them (part of the Sophie
Movie logic)
if OGG Quicktime was not installed.

Now since nobody cared for a long time on Movies I do not know the
status
of such a code.
The "native" Squeak movie code is very outdated and supports only a
very peculiar mpg.1 video format. So for the future GStreamer and
Quicktime support would be more advantageous. Quicktime is well
integrated into Sophie, but could use some refactoring to bring it
into line with the GStreamer work John did.
