I just tried to do this, but (at least in Gambas 0.62) controls don't have the 
Id property.

Also, I made a form and used it like a control in another form, and when I 
looked at its Id property it was zero.  When I display the form on its own it 
gets an Id (in the 4 million range) and when I start the mplayer process, 
that form blinks for a second, and you can hear the sound from mplayer, but 
the video doesn't seem to make it into the form window.

It's all right to display mplayer in its own window for now for what I'm 
doing, but it sounds like the Id property stuff might be a little funny right 
now.
