Assuming the MPG extension is registered to use windows media player, you could just use the ShellExecute function.

Do a search here. There are a lot of examples.

Alternatively, you could use the Shell command to run windows media player and add the name of the mpg as a command line argument.

OK, so you need a label and the MediaPlayer control. What is the question?
