Is there any possibility to run video files in Blitzmax.? If yes, what are the video formats supported by Blitzmax.?.

No
If you read the boards just a little bit you would see that in the 5 recent threads on the programming board 2 are on video playback

Thank you. Is it possible to run Divx or Xvid video files in blitzmax?. They only mentioned about MPEG files. Any idea?.

If you find an AVI player module and DivX / XVid is installed on the system, then yes.

No. But it should be fairly straight forward to write a simple wrapper for BINK Video.

Thank you, Can anyone explain me how to run video files in Blitzmax using some modules. And i dont have clear idea about how to import others modules in blitzmax and run it. I have tried with "pantson.mod" for MPEG video files. I just placed the "pantson.mod" inside my blitzmax mod folder. Then i run the files inside the "project" folder which comes with pantson module. But i didnt get proper output. I am getting the Error " Can't find interface for module pantson.mpeg " .Any idea...?

So you have mods/pantson.mod/mpeg.mod/mpeg.bmx?
If you have then the next step is to Build Modules for which you need MinGW installed. Does that work?
