Looking to Play Videos (with an API)

[bobber205]

I am currently using Fmod for my audio in apps (all freeware, school projects etc).

I am needing a similar solution (preferably same quality as fmod) but for video files.

Does anyone have any recommendations?
I am willing to take on a challenge, just not a monster one.

You don't need any library for audio or videos.

AVIFile or WMP Interf. do everything (and there are plenty of others native ways...)

[bobber205]

What are those other native ways?

A friend mentioned something like winmci?

The easiest way is to use the Windows Media Player. It's an Active X control.
Right-clic the surface of a dialog box pick Insert Active X Control from the context menu and look for the control.
