Use this module. It plays MPEG movies, but you can use it to play AVI files too.

I think VbWeb.co.uk has a good example but the site seems to be having problems at the moment

I don't remember where I found it. I think it has a link in the comments at the top. Lemme check. Nope I guess not. Hmm. I either got it from around here, or www.planetsourcecode.com. Probably the latter.

very exiting news
ok. now how can i encode my mpegs to divx? how can i play them in my app. can u help or can u give me link 4 more info
thanks alot

check out divx.com or divxmovies.com they have detailed info on the format... i have many editing/conversion utlitlies at home.. but i am at work right now.... if you have the divx codec installed (downloadable at divxmovies.com) on your PC then you can use the Microsoft Media Player control to play the movies... What you could do is include the codec file in your setup program and install it when you install your program... you need it to decode divx format... i image it would be simple though becuase it is just one file that it installs... get more info from those sites and let me know if you have any other questions...
