Is there a set of old Squeak all-in-one versions to download and try to get the Video tool in Universe to download into the image it was made for?  Thanks.

The archives with all the old release are at <ftp://ftp.squeak.org/>
All in one distros are relatively recent, so you most likely will need to find appropriate sources and VM's to go with the images and changes files you find there, however often later VM's would work with older images.

"Universe" is a funny name for this system, because it is NOT
everything in the world, but very much a closed system.   There are
supposed to be many Universes, each for one version of Squeak.  The
first Universe was for 3.9.   The one you are using is probably the
one for 3.10, which was part of the standard release.  (Universe was
just an add-on for 3.9).   The problem is that later releases of
Squeak have continued to include Universe, but they are still pointing
to the old 3.10 database.   The 3.10 Universe should NOT be changed to
work with later versions of Squeak.  Instead, the idea is that a new
Universe should be created for each version.  That has not happened,
so Universe is not really useful for later versions of Squeak.

if you want to use the 3.10 Universe, get a 3.10 image.   Then it
should work fine.  You can play with the code and see how it works,
export it, and try to get it to work in the current version of Squeak.

A sar packageis really a zip file and can be decompressed with a unzipper program.

As Karl mentioned a .sar file is just a zip file. BUT... IIRC the file
tool in Squeak can install a sar file, at least it could do that
earlier. Try selecting the file and see if there is a button called
"Install" to use.
