You should watch the presentation of Beth Richard at the Amiwest Show 2013 about the FMV:

It is simply wonderfull how it works.
You can have movie as background under amiga graphics.
It is excellent for good old style amiga games.

thanks for those videos! that is some really good info there!

ok, so there was only one(!) zorro mpeg card ever made (MPEG4000) and displayed at trade shows in '93. and it got literally physically squished down into what we have now as the CD32's FMV card.

very interesting! also confirms the FMV card takes over the external video output 100% and deals with mixing the amiga chipset output and the mpeg output itself.
