[QUOTE="Xetick, post: 54304, member: 20382"] In the documentation it says The documentation is old so that might have been changed. MPlayer atleast plays all of those without installing quicktime,realplayer or any directshow filters at all. The most you need to do is copy a extra set of files to the mplayer dir to support some rare formats. But because of that you dont mess with the users computer. If they dont like it just remove the dir. Mplayer even supports playing dvd (Isos) and such out of the box. In one single exe file. I found one way that might make it easier to correctly integrate mplayer. It's by using the mplayer.exe in [url=http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/tech/slave.txt]slave mode[/url]. This works by giving the windows handle on the command line. Mplayer will then use that window to play the move in. It does require some work on the developers side but they wouldn't need to care about totaly integrating mplayer (That is, creating a dll) because the .exe could just be used as is. Also I found a frontend to mplayer that uses mplayer.exe in exactly this way. It's called [url=http://mpui.sourceforge.net/]MPUI[/url] Cheers Joakim [/QUOTE]
