The MCI control in VB will support whatever format for which the codec is available. E.g. AVIVideo, PCM Wave, etc... Unless you can find a codec for MPEG video files, you should use the ActiveMovie ActiveX control, which is, unless I am mistaken, available in every Windows 95 and above installations.
If you have the new Microsoft Media Player installed it comes with a control that if it can't play a format, I think it will try to find a update from MS that will let it (assuming that you are connected to the internet at the time)
