I've read the online docs and various threads on this topic, but still
can't get a simple example working with a media player and an avi file
(both compressed and uncompressed).  I'm using CPP Builder 6 Personal,
and here is what I have tried:

- Create new app
- Add TPanel to main form
    - set Caption to nothing
- Add TMediaPlayer to main form
    - set DeviceType to dtAVIVideo (tried dtDigitalVideo too)
    - set Display to Panel1
    - set AutoOpen to true
    - set FileName to my .avi file

When I run the app and press the play button, nothing happens and
the TMediaPlayer->Error is set to 274 (The MCI device you are
using does not support the specified command).  I've got the latest
CPP Builder and Windows XP patches.  This sounds like a
configuration issue, no?

FWIW, TAnimate works fine with the uncompressed AVI file.  I want to use
TMediaPlayer,
however, so that I can use a compressed AVI.   Thanks for any help you may
be able to offer.
