How can I freeze the keyboard and mouse, like when I want a video clip to play, without being cut-out, so that the keyboard doesn't work until after the video clip.

If you dont scan for keystrokes, nothing will be done with them, but I suppose you dont want the alt-tab etc. combinations to work. To do this, use the disable systemkeys command.

Whatever I did I didn't do it!

Why would it matter? The keyboard just sends data, so you don't have to read it...

Although for the mouse, just disable it!

Ok,heres the real answer, now most of the keys on a keyboard(all the letters, space, enter, control, numbers) won't do anything in your program unless you program them to do so. There are however certain combinations of keys that will exit you program such as alt-tab these are called system keys and can be disabled by using the command
disable system keys
and enabled by
enable system keys
so basically unless you program a key to skip your video clip the player/user won't be able to do so, but bare in mind most people won't want to see a video clip before they play, especially if they've seen it before!!!
