This is a basic video player based on MCI, the original PowerBASIC version was first written long ago in 2000 with PB/DLL.
The main advantage of using MCI is that it works from XP to W10.
The attached project is skinned using the zSkin API documented there

Note : zSkin should not be confused with WinLIFT that is a subclassing engine able to skin a window on the fly.

The Blur mode doesn't work on XP, and it has been disabled by Microsoft on Windows 10.
The attached PowerBASIC 32-bit source code has been compiled with PB 9.05, but it also compile fine in PB 10+, however the resulting binary EXE would be larger.
