This code works correctly on my old powermac 8100, QT4.  The MPEG took a while to display, so I upped the RAM. You might also need to do a prerollmovie so that the MPEG decompression can catch up before it starts to play.

You should also remove the calls to entermovies and exitmovies from within the loop. I think I remember that they each should only be called once.  Entermovies at startup, and exitmovies when your app quits.
