I've read it has been removed.

How could I use it? With an older version?
I Found all the commands on the help that comes with the standard version, and the commands are on the help, and I get no error at all on the compiler when using them, but it just don't play.

This function will work
+ Code Snippet

#pragma comment ( lib, "winmm.lib" )
#pragma comment ( lib, "vfw32.lib" )
#include <windows.h>
#include <vfw.h>
HWND		hwnd_MCIWnd;       				// MCIWnd window handle

void PlayVideo (HWND hwnd_ParentWindow, LPSTR lpstr, int OriginX, int OriginY, int Width, int Height) 
{	
	DWORD dwMCIWndStyle = WS_CHILD |     	// child window
                WS_VISIBLE |     			// visible
                MCIWNDF_NOTIFYMODE |		// notifies of mode changes
                MCIWNDF_NOPLAYBAR; 			// hides toolbar

	hwnd_MCIWnd = MCIWndCreate(hwnd_ParentWindow, GetModuleHandle(NULL), dwMCIWndStyle, NULL);

    MCIWndOpen(hwnd_MCIWnd, lpstr, NULL);   // new device in window
	SetWindowPos(hwnd_MCIWnd,NULL,OriginX,OriginY,Width,Height,SWP_NOMOVE | SWP_NOZORDER | SWP_NOACTIVATE);

    MCIWndPlay(hwnd_MCIWnd);                // plays device
}

//called like:
PlayVideo ( g_pGlob->hWnd, "vidpath.wmv", 0, 0, 800, 600 );

you gotta give a huge thanks for sydbod for this function, he gave me it few weeks ago

even tho it's not very powerful, but i think it does the job
