Broken Sword 1 & 2 Cutscenes do not work - WHY?

I have been playing my copies of Broken Sword 1 & 2 on my Mac Scumm VM for a while. Recently, I upgraded my PSP to custom firmware 3.02 OE-B (about the greatest thing since sliced bread). I have been very impressed by the quality of emulation of the PSP port. However today when I tried my Broken Sword games, I run into a major problem - the cutscenes WILL NOT PLAY.

In Broken Sword 2, I get sound, but no picture. A message at the top says that the code needs to be recompiled with MPEG2 support.

In Broken Sword 1, the cutscenes simply do not show at all. It skips straight to gameplay.

I am running 0.91sv PSP port (which is the latest stable as far as I know). Does anyone have any idea how to get the cutscenes to work?

Easy. "The code needs to be recompiled with MPEG2 support".

Well I thought that 0.91sv did have mpeg2 support? Or did the person porting it take it out because of PSP's limitations?

Also, I saw at least one post on the forum claiming to get it to work. Can someone please confirm whether there is a way to make the cutscenes work at the present time or not?
