Whats the best way to play .mpg files from Blitz?

I need to be able to set the volume too so OpenMovie / DrawMovie doesn't seem to be the best option...

Is there a userlib out there that is more powerful?

im sure i saw something for AVIs somewhere somewhen. Not mpeg tho. There must be a dll someplace for this.

You could always find/write(in vb or something) a commandline based player and exec it ie:
player.exe filename.mpg /fullscreen /volume
but you would need distro permission unless you wrote it yourself.

The other problem would be halting execution while movie is playing.

If you find a good stable way, let me know as im after something like this too.
