WinAPI videos? how to play videos beside avi?

Hi, I was hoping someone in this section could help me with a C based
API that plays videos, all different kinds of videos. I have found
how to play .avi files, but playing other files seems to be a lot
harder. I know you must use codec's (unless i'm mistaken) and thats
where I get lost, but I think you have to use COM in it somewhere, but
it's over my head, could someone please help me??

Thanks in advance.
