You sure the error isn't getting thrown somewhere else?  The 
error message says line 125 and I assume that "285:" is the line 
number of your SHELL command.

I do notice that the MoviePlayer example uses a Label to display 
the mplayer video.  Maybe mplayer can't embed into top-level 
windows?  Try making a label that's the full height and width of 
the form, and using its handle instead.
