Re: How to play Video?
You can embed windows media player in your application which can play videos from your harddrive or stream them from a URL.

Add a reference to "Windows Media Player" aka Interop.WMPLib.dll, and then navigate to the controls in that DLL (using the "customize toolbox" menu option). You will see a media player control. Drop it on your form and away you go.

Re: How to play Video?
Good suggestion from scott. Here is a good example to play a video using DirectX - http://www.codeproject.com/KB/graphi...viePlayer.aspx. You may use MCI - Media Control Interface API to play video.

You can also play video in a 3d space using the XNA framework if you want to do some fanciness
