I messed with pymedia a while back and found it quite limiting in the 
video formats it supports. Saying that, it was the best available at the 
time. I'm trying to avoid reencoding 20gb+ worth of videos for this 
project as our cluster resources are already stretched ;-)

It looks as if pyglet is the most capable. Was able to put together a 
simple fullscreen video player in minutes and worked with the existing 
video files. For a minute there I thought I'd have to use something 
other than Python :O
