    Anyone knows if VB5 supports .mpg and .dat videos?
    How do you use them by MCI?

    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)
