movie in corner

Im not to detailed in my first post so here is a more detailed version



Im using Soundspawns AVI Movie Playing Script
#  Copy this into a new section of your game. To play a file, move the avi file
#  into a "movies" subdirectory (yourgame\data, yourgame\graphics, yourgame\movies).
#  Then call "Scene_Movie.new(filename)" where filename is your movies actual
#  filename (minus the .avi).

class Scene_Movie

def initialize(movie)
  @readini = Win32API.new 'kernel32', 'GetPrivateProfileStringA', %w(p p p p l p), 'l'
  @movie_name = Dir.getwd()+"\\Movies\\"+movie+".avi"
  main
end

def main

  game_name = "\0" * 256
  @readini.call('Game','Title','',game_name,255,".\\Game.ini")
  game_name.delete!("\0")
  @wnd = Win32API.new('user32','FindWindowEx','%w(l,l,p,p)','L')
  @temp = @wnd.call(0,0,nil,game_name).to_s
  movie = Win32API.new('winmm','mciSendString','%w(p,p,l,l)','V')
  movie.call("open \""+@movie_name+"\" alias FILE style 1073741824 parent " + @temp.to_s,0,0,0)
  @message = Win32API.new('user32','SendMessage','%w(l,l,l,l)','V')
 
  @detector = Win32API.new('user32','GetSystemMetrics','%w(l)','L')
  @width = @detector.call(0)
  if @width == 640
    fullscreen
    Graphics.update
    sleep(1)
    Graphics.update
    sleep(1)
    Graphics.update
    sleep(1)
  end
 
  status = " " * 255
  movie.call("play FILE",0,0,0)
  loop do
    sleep(0.1)
    @message.call(@temp.to_i,11,0,0)
    Graphics.update
    @message.call(@temp.to_i,11,1,0)
    Input.update
    movie.call("status FILE mode",status,255,0)
    true_status = status.unpack("aaaa")
    if true_status.to_s != "play"
      break
    end
    if Input.trigger?(Input::B)
      Input.update
      break
    end
  end
  movie.call("close FILE",0,0,0)
  bail
end

def bail
  if @width == 640
    fullscreen
  end
  end
end

def fullscreen()

$full.call(18,0,0,0)
$full.call(13,0,0,0)
$full.call(18,0,2,0)
$full.call(13,0,2,0)
end
$full = Win32API.new('user32','keybd_event','%w(l,l,l,l)','')

and my movie turns up to be too small and in the top right corner
( sorry no screen shot )
Is there a way to change the script so it is the original size and that it is not in the top right corner? (im not a good scripter )
I dont know if its the program i use to make movies or its just the script (I use Virtual Edit Microsoft movie maker stops and quits whenever i click on something:(

if anyone can help thankyou so much
I need this for my FIXED pokemon game, My Pacman game, frogger and someothers
