Hi Chris,

I don't know, whether you have any programming skills. If it's the case,
there are freeware or PD mpeg-players available in source. It shouldn't
be the big problem to write a file instead of copying a bitmap to
screen. Targa is easy to create. If this is a way you would try to go
and need more hints how to do so, you can contact me start of next week
at my company. I'm sitting behind a firewall and will not be able to
post here during the week, so you will have to contact me directly.

My company email address is: Hei### [at] bbnhpcom
