I just downloaded the demo of BlitzMax. It looks great for cross platform 2D gaming, but I haven't seen any commands that allow me to play videos, like MPEG, in a BlitzMax application. Is this possible and where is the information at?

No there is not. B3D supported that through DirectMedia, which is not cross plattform. If you want movies, you will need to wrap an open source library that does allow that (I think there was a project going on for that)

I did a quick hack with mpeg (you have to de-mux the audio) the results of the experiment are on my site. I *think* someone did an avi replay dll or module but I can remember who it was...
