Its pretty easy to implement an avi control. Follow these steps to add an avi animation control (CAnimateCtrl) to your dialog resource:

• In the resource editor, click on the animate control icon, and place one on your dialog.
• Go into 'Class Wizard' and add a control name to your newly inserted component. example:

CAnimateCtrl m_avi;

this is placed in your .h file.

• Next, import the .avi file into your project. To do this, highlite your resource project name, and right click in the resource view window. Select import. Set the filter to *.avi, and select the avi file you want to import.
• Enter "AVI" for resource type in the custom resource type dialog box.
• Add the following code to your project:

 /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
 // CAvidemoDlg message handlers

 BOOL CAvidemoDlg::OnInitDialog()
 {
    CDialog::OnInitDialog();
    ...
    ...
    // TODO: Add extra initialization here
    m_avi.Open( IDR_AVI ); // open the avi resource.
    m_avi.Play( 0, -1,-1 );play avi resource.

    // return TRUE unless you set the focus to a control
    return TRUE;
  }
