I have a folder with several mpeg2 video files.
I like to write a selection tool in VB6 and need a way to display the first

Does anybody know how I can do this with mpeg2 video files?

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to place an image from the Clipboard
directly into an Image control in VB6?
If it is possible, can you point me to a tutorial or post some sample code?
Thanks.

"Deactivate" "Set Filter"... pretty much standard stuff  :-)
