Probably new stuff available in .NET, but in VB6 you can use
either the media control or Win Media Player, both do all the
video rendering you need. Some advantages I found for my own
GUI are:
1) Remember every incomplete and its stopping point.
2) In aspect or free form resizing, including zoom/shrink in
whatever increments you choose.
3) Drag video within player frame (even when zoomed beyond frame
borders)
4) Resizable controls for better readability on a TV display
5) Preset window sizes for TV (I use one of these

to put the PC display onto a TV - way better than graphics card
TV out).
Although my implementation does not play DVDs, it will play
decrypted VOBs, MPEG1/2 ISO, xvid/divx AVI, and a few others
I've stumbled across.
