First of all, don't post your answers as "Solution". I saw it: this is VB.NET. My advice: never call it VB. Who would like to answer the questions on VB?

Solution 1

It won't play an mp4 if the codecs are not installed. If the avi is not raw, it won't play it, if the codecs are not installed. It won't start playing it unless auto play is set to true, without you calling the Play method of ( from memory ) the CtlControls class on the object.

Is this VB6 or VB.NET ?

Thanks - it did not change the answer, but I thought it was worth pointing out it was not clear.
