Brain, Both myself and I am sure a lot of other MM programers would be interested in paying quite a lot for a good windows player that works and can be controlled well. We also did some checks on a few other computers last night. We found that fsome of the sound boards wouldn't always played fine. The problem then arises that the Adesk DLL takes control of the wav device when it plays and restricts the mci control from playing a wav sound. It is looking more and more like we may have to use the avi file format. (Unforunately avi files never look as good as the flics) Is there any documentation available on reading a flic file. We may look at writing our own code, though I hope we don't have to. This would delay ouir release date and cost more $. Thanks for your help and let me know. Tell you programers we would be gald to be guinie pigs for testing out any beta code they may have that would help. Andrew McClary
