Should work fine.

But you need to

a) add the MPG files to the files list in One Button Publishing - if they 
are not here already
b) make sure Authorware knows where they will be once downloaded. Default 
folder for downloaded files **that are in the same folder as your Authorware 
file*** is a subfolder of the plugin folder called downloads.

b) is probably what is most likely to have caught you out, because 
Authorware still looks in the same folder as itself, instead of in the 
Downloads folder. You can either move all you movies to a subfolder, relink 
them, then repackage, or else add Downloads to the SearchPath.

The mpeg movies work fine in author mode and in local published mode but not on

the web. It keeps yielding the message, "Where is MV***.mpg?" I have
placed the 
AW7 mpeg and runtime drivers in the same web folder with the AW and movie files

but it doesn't help. Can it be some incompatibility between the movie icon and 
the movie itself, or some problem with the movie format? The movie parameters 
I've used are:
 output format: Mpeg1
 codec video: Mpeg-1
 Fps: 25
 Bitrate: 1152
 codec audio: MP3
 Frequency: 44100
 Bitrate: 224
