I need to be able to sync my poser character animations to a .mpeg i have. Is this possible to use a movie as a background image in the front viewport? If so how do i do that?

apply the movie to the diffuse channel of the poser 1-sided square. see also phil's rotoscoping item.

Which movie format should i be using? I tried .mov with animation and sorenson codecs but got the message "Cannot load not enough memory". The file is only 4mb.
Any ideas?

how many frames? what frame size? altho I admit, it should be able to load a short clip, so that may be the spurious memory error that poser sometimes gives.

There are 600 frames at 320 x 240 . What would be considered a short clip?

I'm getting 176 MB for that. it may be too much; try shorter clips. IMVHO a short clip is 120 frames (preferably 30 - 60), which is about the standard length between cuts nowadays, given the attention span of the current demographic.

YOu can try this program, it is free and can be used to capture from videos to 3d or 3d data. like a mocap.
