I think it's too much work for the scratch team. You would have to take all the audio and turn it into a sound file, and then turn the movie into frames.

Actually, in a preliminary, unreleased version of Scratch, video import was possible. They removed it because it was pretty complicated for new users.
Oooh! So they can!
Why can't they just run the video natively?
I don't see why they would have to convert it into frames!

They wouldn't have to. They could probably run the video natively.
And don't ask me where I got my information from... I forget.

Huh... It would be nice to have a video API... With a video player! Now, that would be cool!

Well, for now you could try converting it to a GIF. There are some programs that let you do that, but you'd have to extract the audio... It would take a lot of work, but would be worth it as long as you aren't, say, pirating copyrighted material.
