in windows you have to use the winapi to show avi file. search on the codeproject or msdn for code examples. on linux look how mplayer does it.

Use QX11EmbedContainer with mplayer passing -slave and setting the window id in the mplayer arguments. It 's pretty straightforward to achieve this.

The following is from the qxmp video player sources illustrating a possible way to achieve that:

QX11EmbedContainer *container=new QX11EmbedContainer(ui.frame);
container->resize(w,h);
mp=new QProcess(container);
connect(mp, SIGNAL(readyReadStandardOutput()),this, SLOT(readPlayOutput()));
connect(mp, SIGNAL(finished(int)),this, SLOT(endPlayProcess(int)));
connect(mp, SIGNAL(started()),this, SLOT(startTimer()));
command=otherOptions+mplayerOptions+" -wid "+QString::number(container->winId())+" -slave "+playfile;
mp->start("mplayer "+command);

QX11EmbedContainer *container=new QX11EmbedContainer(ui.frame);
container->resize(w,h);
mp=new QProcess(container);
connect(mp, SIGNAL(readyReadStandardOutput()),this, SLOT(readPlayOutput()));
connect(mp, SIGNAL(finished(int)),this, SLOT(endPlayProcess(int)));
connect(mp, SIGNAL(started()),this, SLOT(startTimer()));
command=otherOptions+mplayerOptions+" -wid "+QString::number(container->winId())+" -slave "+playfile;
mp->start("mplayer "+command);
