I'm looking at blender again and it appears that the reason it won't 
load a movie for me is because the Fedora 10 version was compiled 
without ffmpeg support.

WTF? 

mplayer without jack support and blender without ffmpeg support.

I hope they fixed both in Fedora 11. Do all the distros have this policy?
