note: i don't see a reason to put zip files inside zip files, why not folders?
Thanks for the kind words Vince.
The zip inside zip is because I was also putting those individual archives elsewhere.
It just kind of worked out that way. I didn't see any harm !

Ah, that takes me back!
Anyway, I think this is a very accomplished project, I'm with Rick... I mean Vince on that, but I do have some curiosities.
About 6 or so years ago I made a video app that simply slaved a play list to VLC; so a question I have is this...
What control benefits did you see by having videos play in a QB64 window? I mean I get that if you are distributing software, this makes it unnecessary to include VLC in the package, and that's pretty great for developers, but did you find other benefits?
Pete
But I see the benefit of having control over Video play within a program too. Just a couple examples off the top of my Head !
1. Your spaceship control panel in your Space battle game receives a video message from the Fleet commander ! You play it right there
on your control panel. ( This has a lot of offshoots ! )
2. Control of Video segments in a program that's a tutorial for doing some other activity !
