if your stuff will be only on window's machine, you use the magic 2d in the project page, i think it handles it for you

Another option would be to search for an entry by RT, who some time ago wrote a AVI player. Last but not least if your a linux user, Hybrid has a linux compatible AVI player somewhere on his website

My game should run on the windows system only

And I just want to play some videos at the beginning of the game in the same window.

But I can't comprehend your opinion.

what is magic 2d ?

Should I recompose the Engine Code ?

Magic Library is a static library for irrlicht works only with OpenGL driver , it has many features for 2d and 3d drawing , including playing movie.

check it here
http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ ... &start=255

or see my webpage

please note well with my latst release you could play movie with it's sonud , so your FPS will be 25 frames persecond, if you do not want the sound you could play with a higher speed.
