Don't use 1.6.2, use 1.7 (precompiled at http://pythonmac.org/ 
packages/) or compile from CVS yourself.

No, movieext is not a supported extension.  It's not really available  
anywhere and it never compiles without jiggering Setup.in.  It  
probably won't be around much longer.

[from Setup.in]
#experimental new movie movie. requires libavcodec and libavformat.
#add any necessary compile flags to this line and uncomment.
#movieext src/movie.c  src/ffmovie.c $(SDL) -lavcodec -lavformat
