The easiest and fastest way is to use a multimedia SDK to implement the play component and media decoding filters. I think the strongest free SDK is libVLC which can give you features similar to the VLC media player. There's a .NET wrapper for that SDK which you can find here: https://libvlcnet.codeplex.com/ In my own application I used an SDK called leadtools because it made it easy for me to add effects to videos and not only play them. There is a tutorial here: https://www.leadtools.com/help/leadtools/v19/dh/multimedia/to/leadtools.topics.multimedia~leadtools.topics.multimedia.creatingadirectshowplayerapplication.html
