RTFM. Here, i'll even quote it for you:

              +  MPEG  animations. NOT FULLY SUPPORTED. NO AUDIO.
                 And currently only Type I Frames are  displayed.
                 Type  B and Type P frames are currently ignored,
                 but will be  added  in  future  revs.   It  also
                 doesn't handle MPEGs with audio streams.

Does it look to you like it supports mpeg movies with sound? It doesn't
even support P or B frames, so on average it'll only show 1 out of every
12 frames of animation, ignoring the rest. It's a good player, but not for
mpegs.
