[solved] Rendering movies ?

[Raul]

I have an .avi file. It's a little introduction movie. Since 6.5 does not have yet a media .dll I would like to know how to render my movie at the start of my app ?

I have tried to use 6.3 media dll version, but when i distribute my application the user receive a message error. even for sounds i had to use another library.

thanks

I'm sure I did answer a similar question in an other thread but actually I'm not able to find it on the forums.
Anyway you can try to use plain directx code before engine initialization; There are only few lines and it works great.

Code:

Private Sub play_movie()
        Dim video1 As Microsoft.DirectX.AudioVideoPlayback.Video
        video1 = New Microsoft.DirectX.AudioVideoPlayback.Video("data\video01.avi")
        video1.Owner = Me
        video1.Fullscreen = True
        video1.Play()
       End Sub

EDIT:
