[MPlayer-users] Is it possible to embed mplayer in anotherapplication?

[farolfo at hotmail.com]

I've use it in on Windows in vb6. If you run MPlayer.exe with "-wid 
<Handle>" parametr in command line, MPlayer dispaly the video in the object 
with the passed handle. if you have problem with visualization try to assign 
a custom color to the object and pass this color to Mplayer by " -colorkey" 
option
