I've tried this code, but to no avail. I've tried a few other things and non of them seem to work...
mob/verb/Monkey_Vid_Please()showvid(src,'monkey.wmv',277)
proc/showvid(mob/m as mob,f,t as num)
    var {w;h;s}
    s=winget(m,"mainwindow","size")
    w=text2num(copytext(s,1,findtext(s,"x")))
    h=text2num(copytext(s,findtext(s,"x")+1))
    var/html={"
<html>
<body bgcolor="black">
<!-- START FreeVideoCoding.com -->
<embed src=[f] width="[w]" height="[h]" autostart="1" showcontrols="1" type="application/x-mplayer2" pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/"> </embed>
<!-- END FreeVideoCoding.com -->
</body>
</html>
"}
    m<<browse(html,"window=video;can_close=0;size=[s]")
    for(var/v=1 to t)sleep(1)
    m<<browse(null,"window=video")

Has anyone ever tried this before?

BYOND uses Internet Explorer to display HTML files. Therefore, if IE can, so does BYOND.

Alright, but i was asking for dynamic things. Like pick a video then play, in a sense you answered but.. I want to know if byond's file procs are good enough to make what im doing work..

Sure, that should definitely be possible. You'd need to send the file to the resource cache with browse_rsc() before it can be used in a webpage, though, just like you do with images.

Updated code
proc/showvid(mob/m as mob,f,t as num)
    var {w;h;s;html;v}
    s=winget(m,"mainwindow","size")
    w=text2num(copytext(s,1,findtext(s,"x")))
    h=text2num(copytext(s,findtext(s,"x")+1))
    v=file(f)
    m<<browse_rsc(v,"vid")
    html={"

<body bgcolor="black">

    m<<browse(html,"window=video;can_close=0;size=[w+50]x[h+50]")
    for(var/z=1 to t)sleep(1)
