Hello John

	Actually it will play mpeg files.  The problems I overcame
were these.  One the file name has to be set to .mpg or .mpeg.
TMediaPlayer uses filename extensions to determine what type it is.
Next I needed to trim off all excess information from the filename I
got back from the Open File Dialog.  Last I had problems running it in
the IDE.  I could only get it to run from a compiled application.

	If you still cannot get it to run, drop me an Email at
mjcrapo@home.com and I will be glad to Email you a sample that I got
to work.

Mike
