It means that particular extension has not been loaded. This is usually 
caused by a lack of support for that extension in the current driver for you 
video card. You could try adding a line in your XF86Config[-4] file to load 
the module, but that's probably a waste of time. Most of the time the XFree 
acurately determines which extensions are available.

If it spews errors but works...ignore it.

If it doesn't work you can try another mpeg player, some others may not 
require that extension to work.

If you are not using the latest version of XFree86, you may want to see if 
the driver for your card has been updated and if that update includes the 
support you need. Don't bother with an upgrade until you know it will fix 
your problem, since the files are huge download.

You could also upgrade your video card to something with better support in 
XF86 or offer some pizza/beer to the maintainer of the drivers for your card 
to hurry up and get some support. ;)
