What exactly do you want to do with it? Do you want to play it on your form? If so then you'll some component that can display video, e.g. Windows Media Player.

By all means. It's what you should have done in the first place.

First you need to add the Windows Media Player control to your Toolbox. Right-click the Toolbox and select Choose Items, then add the WMP component from the COM tab. You can now add it to your form and use it as you would any other control.
