OK - I figured it out.....   Just had some garbage on the filename.
Ran it through Trim() and it works great.

Try TActiveMovie at http://www.delphicity.com. It does a better job...

Hello Michael,

    Saw your posting on playing MPEG-1 video files but you didn't go into
how it is actually done.
Can you help me - what components to use and where you got them from and how
they are used
- do you have a little code sample ?

I would be most grateful

Hello,

I think you can use Tmediaplay component.What ever your mediaplayer can play
this component can also.

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
