Maybe it just isn''t practical, but I want to write/modify an mpeg viewer/player and use it to display cinematics in my game. All the programs/libraries I have found are built for linux (I am the worst at porting!) or they are so complex I don''t even want to try to understand them. Any with: porting tips, a win32 version of something (mpeg_lib or mpeg_play), or simply telling me that this is way beyind the scope of answerability. Absolutely ANY help would be appreciated!

smpeg is an extremely easy-to-use mpeg library, but only if you''re using SDL, since it renders the mpeg movie to an SDL surface (which means that it works on Windows, Linux, and whatever other platforms SDL runs on).
