If you are using the tabuleiro mpeg xtra, then you can't use
Quicktime-Xtra-related lingo to control it. You'll have to check the mpeg xtra
docs to see whether rotation is possible.
If it's MPEG-1, you could use the Quicktime Xtra. I just double checked this,
importing an MPEG movie into director through setting the filename of a
Quicktime member, and setting the rotation. It works just fine.
