If it only will work on Amithlon, then you'd better make it x86 native and forget about 68k.

On 68k amiga, you can use FFMPEG prog to convert all those videos to, e.g.  mpeg1.
You can then view mpeg1 on amiga with Frogger.

Get LATEST ffmpeg here:

Hmm if FFMPEG is as good as it sounds in the docs then its one of the best programs out.
Gotta try it tonight.
(Looks like it even does conversions to mjpeg, great for making wii movies on the miggy, yay)

FFMPEG is not as good as it sounds...
 The Amiga port supports only the AVI format and that is partially. Not all codecs are supported. That means that WMV, FLV, QT, etc to MPG is not possible.
 Mencoder (part of MPlayer project) supports many video formats, it's more powerful and i think it's more fast too.

 I'm not interested for a port of MPlayer because i've seen that it's too slow for a PPC equiped classic Amiga, but i'm definitely interested about a WarpOS port of Mencoder.

@AmigaMance:

Not true!
I converted a Flash Video to MPG with LATEST (which is NOT on aminet)  ffmpeg for 68k amiga.
As far as speed is concerned, yes, it requires a fast cpu, but on emulation thats not a problem.

Why? Mplayer is not just divx/xvid. Maybe it'll be ok to play small mpeg files...

Anyway is the only way

1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

If a 68k port is so badly wanted, why doesn't someone just try to compile it from morphos sources? There aren't many changes needed (mostly hooks and createnewproc calls). The most boring part would probably dealing with old 68k libnix that may lack a few functions (or not!).
 
About a warpos port, it would definitely be a bit more work (more than just a recompilation, that is).
