Hi,
to get the .avi to work there is only one problem right now and wonder if you can see what it is.

In this button event as follows the error is reported as:
pause is not a member of system.windows.forms.control.controlcollection
the same error is reported for play and stop

this is the code
Thanks

Private Sub btnPlayPause_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnPlayPause.Click
Select Case player.playState

Case WMPPlayState.wmppsPlaying
player.Controls.pause()

Case WMPPlayState.wmppsPaused
player.Controls.play()

Case WMPPlayState.wmppsStopped
player.Controls.play()

End Select
End Sub
