I guess that Amarok only plays audio.
You can open files like "mpg" or "ogm" only because there are audio streams.
I tried to view different kinds of video with Gstreamer and Xine as engines, but the result is the same.

I hope it helped.

The 1.4.x series of Amarok is an audio player only. The upcoming KDE4 version will get some support for video.

Well, Amarok2 will probably also not have video support in it's original meaning. Probably (and also not for Amarok 2.0.0) only support of video podcasts. Anyway, latest Amarok shouldn't be a playback option for multimedia containers, such as OGM, anymore. Considering it still does you might want to report a bug.

Please mark this question as solved.
