>Videoworks wouldn't even run any of the movies under multifinder.

Hmmmm, it works for me under multifinder! I run the demos all the time.

My configuration, 

Mac II , Color monitor (256 colors), 8 megs of memory, Finder 6.0 MultiFinder 
1.0, Videworks II. 

While I am running VWII, I have Hypercard up and say a Terminal emulator 
attached to a session on my UX box. I have only found a slowdown if I am also
running the program called Waiting as it distorts the sound on playback.

Macromind is supposedly working on a videoworks II hypercard driver, perhaps 
they will have it out at Macworld. I would guess that Mr Canter and friends
will want you to license the driver depending on what you are going to do with
it. I agree that it would be extremely nice to be able to run VW II movies
under the control of Hypercard.
