According to MSKB Article ID: Q136763

There are several ways to play AVI (audio-visual interleave) files from Visual FoxPro. These include:

Placing the AVI file in a General field and then activating it.
Using a Custom control designed to play MCI (media control interface) devices.
Calling a Windows API function directly that will play the file for you.

The last technique, although more involved, gives the developer much more control over how the AVI file will appear during playback. This article explains how to play an AVI file using API functions contained in the Windows 16-bit Mmsystem.dll file.

Which method are you using?
