Pygame Error: Mpeg video will not play

picture block before sequence header block is the error I get when i try to play my mpeg video file in pygame.

i have no idea how to fix this:

global movie
movie = pygame.movie.Movie("movie.mpeg")
if movie.has_video():
    screen = pygame.display.set_mode(movie.get_size())
    movie_length = movie.get_length()
    movie.set_volume(0.99)
    movie.set_display(screen)
    movie.play()

This is all I have to play the movie. I believe this should play. Though the "picture block before sequence header block" error pops up.

What is wrong?

Convert the video using ffmpeg.

To install ffmpeg follow this youtube video and link mentioned in it.

**https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lSb-jLEJ**JM

After installation convert the video using this command:-

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -target ntsc-vcd -vcodec mpeg1video -an output.mpg
