Audio and animated .gif's?

[ravcam]

In vb how exactly do you play an audio clip or animated .gif? Also is it possible to change a file format in vb? Ex. Take a .gif and convert it to JPEG? (I think those are both picture formats?)

Well, animated gifs are supported in VB, but you don't need to "play" them. It is the inherent nature of the picture to automatically scroll through the different images. So you just throw an animated gif in a picture box or whatever, and that's all you need to do.

How about audio's and converting file formats?
