On the audio side "SDL_mixer supports playing music and sound samples from the following formats:
- WAVE/RIFF (.wav) - AIFF (.aiff) - VOC (.voc) - MOD (.mod .xm .s3m .669 .it .med and more) using included mikmod - MIDI (.mid) using timidity or native midi hardware - OggVorbis (.ogg) ... - MP3 (.mp3)"To get timidity support unpack the GUS patches, http://www.libsdl.org/projects/mixer/timidity/timidity.tar.gz , under C:\ . This installs a single timidity directory.
Finally, contrary to the documentation, the movie module is available for Windows and does works for me. I have played .mpg files with it. However, the loop feature was removed.

I have had no problems loading .png, .gif, .bmp, or .jpg, and I can save to .bmp, and I believe also to .jpg, but I'm not sure.
