You can't. Try making an ActiveX control of the VB project (assuming
you have the source or access to the source). I don't know of any
programming environment that lets you run one program *inside*
another, though.

Make sure that the resources you're using in movie 1 are properly
closed and sisposed before going to movie 2. If you have digital
viudeo playing, pause it explicitly before exiting the file in which
it's running -- that can cause problems.
