I think we should leave it open for someone to fix rather than removing it, but I agree, it is low priority.


I suggested removing the alea.mpg file (and maybe replace the other antiquated media files too).  

There is no way to remove MPEG-1 support as it's part of Quicktime.  There's also no way to play an MPEG-1 in an 'alternate' way than just straight ahead QT calls other than completely changing the code to whatever half-assed Cocoa replacement Apple is trying to sell this month.  QT used to be a feature rich API for professional media creation, now it's just something that plays video on a phone.
