This isn't quite programming related, but I would think people would have some knowledge of this. I'm having a fantastic problem. I can play certain .avi videos in wmp separately (outside the form using regular WMP 10), but the same video refuses to play in the form. In addition, other .AVIs play in BOTH - so it's not my programming. I'm thinking it's the frame rate, video sample size, and compression that is making the difference.

The video that plays in both is 6fps, 6kbps data rate, 8 bit sample size, and MS-RLE compression. The one that only plays in the separate WMP is 60fps, 24bit sample size, and uncompressed.

Any ideas?
