Need Help with Video in TGEA 1.7.1

I was recently turning to use the guiAviBitmapCtrl to put an avi video on my opening spalsh screen GUI, but it did not work. After much searching to find the problem, I looked in the engine source code to find out that AVI, Mpg, and even Theora video support is disabled for one reason or other.

My question is: Is there a way to enable these video supports in TGEA, or are there any other video controls that I could use?

My second question is: Does anyone know when they feature will be updated to work again?

Well, I guess I'll work on something else until I figure something out or somebody helps me.
