Hi everyone, Don't worry, Tyler and Lenard. I am glad if I can help you guys developing a better support for such formats in Pygame. I really think it worths it for the reason I mentioned earlier.
Here is an example of a motion-JPEG movie file : http://toonloop.com/static/black_duck.mov It was made with ToonLoop, a Python application using Pygame. (exporting JPEG and using mencoder to convert it to Motion-JPEG) I will most likely set up a Windows box this summer, for cross-platform development. For now, I only have Linux and Mac computers around. I can test on those platform any code you ask me to test. I know C and C++ as well.
