FYI, I don't think that the smpeg on master works very well (if at all).
I've got two MPEG files that I tried to play with it (video
only...switched off the audio) and it died both times. With the --novideo
switch, it ran without a problem, but since I don't have a soundcard, I
don't know if it actually output audio or not.

that I don't really have the knowledge for (as far as MPEG knowledge). IF
someone wants to tackle this, please do :-)
In the meantime, ucbmpeg-play works very well and it played both of my
MPEG files without a hitch. xanim still is crappy WRT MPEG support and
was so choppy that it was sad. ucbmpeg-play played one of my longer MPEGs
at 24.98 fps on a 164SX with a crappy S3 Trio64 video board (2MB).
