hey guys,
I have a problem with avi files on my pc, whenever I play them and start a game it gets stuck once it finishes, doesn't move onto the next file in the playlist.. I have to alt+tab once for it to continue with the next song.. with wmv files I lose audio when I start a game, happens in media player and media player classic.. :( any of you know some kinda work around for this problem? cos its kinda annoying alt+tabbing every 5 mins or so..

Try to find and set an output-format, that your videocard doesn't accelerate. Overlays and VMR-9 are 'accelerated'.
Anyway, playing videos and playing a game are incompatible tasks unless the video-output is independent from the videocard (using DIBs is the only way).
You could make your own AVI-playing app (but not wmv), that uses AVIFileXXX/AVIStreamXXX and decodes the audio into PCM. The laziest and sure way to avoid the problem is by simply ripping the audio from your videos.
