Playing ALL movie formats -

I used to use the Windows Media Player to handle all my video needs. I was so happy then. Now of course, WMP can't handle QuickTime. And it doesn't handle DivX or Real. Grrrr...

OK. So, is there a way to play videos within a VB6 app using whatever codecs the user has installed? e.g., so long as they install the DivX player, the QuickTime Player, and the Real Player then my app could use those installed codecs to play whatever video the user wants to see?

*OR*

...is there an activex control/dll that would do this? Something like the ace media player:

but in a control/dll form?

Just curious,
Gage
