Seems strange to me, but after looking in every possible corner of this forum, I was unable to locate any mpeg/avi video playback modules. The only ones that existed one day have disappeared (Chris C's mpeg2dec and Kev's mpeg test both not online anymore).

I am looking for a solution for Linux mainly ...

Thats due to the changes within BMs core that made some of them not working correctly anymore.

Depending on the format you want to have the video in, you might want to write a wrapper to ffmpeg ...

I have just arrived at a point in my current project where I need this as well. Lets hope someone knows how to do this or have already done this. I would need it for windows only.

For windows there is Avitool source module floating around somewhere and you might still be able to buy Antony's MaxAVI.

I have tried finding the Avitool, but the source seems to be unavailable. I have written an email to Ozak asking if he still got the code and if he is still willing to part with it. I will let you know what comes of it.
