The problem for windows users isn't that they have to download a movie player to play .mpg files... it's that they also have to download and install python/java runtime to "play" the player because it was written in python/java. Most won't bother and will download/install native win32 app instead. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
