This is not the best solution (it sucks, actually), but it works... it basically
plays the movie on an invisible window... hehehe.

Code: Select all

m$="c:\movie.mpg"
If OpenWindow(0,0,0,352,240,#PB_Window_ScreenCentered,"test")
  OpenWindow(1,0,0,0,0,#PB_Window_Invisible,"hidden")
  InitMovie() : LoadMovie(0,m$) : PlayMovie(0,WindowID(1))
  Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent()=#PB_Event_CloseWindow
EndIf

You can open some movie types with FMOD and play back the audio stream. I am not sure if that works with all types of movies.... http://www.fmod.org
