Also, I was excited at first to see that it has an ffmpeg plugin, but I

This is expected to work, but I think ffmpeg still has some problems on
big endian machines. Any volunteers are welcome ;-)
The strange thing is that it said it couldn't find a decoder for both file
types, even though it showed the correct ID (verified with xanim, which plays
the MJPEG files). Endianness bug with the type detection?
Remember, endianness is not the only difference. PPC also assumes
unsigned char (ARM too). That has caused headaches in other programs
before which were endian-clean, e.g. gnome-pim and gnucash, and from the
number of warnings during my last E 0.16.x build of the type "Warning:
branch never reached due to limited range of data type," I'm surprised
there have been no big bugs there. (Though with gnucash, we thought it
was not char-safe, so the maintainer was passing -funsigned-char, but it
was, so there was a conflict with the C libraries... that one was tough
to find!)
