Hello 345138,
What exactly do you mean by 'background'? .
You could add a Media Player control to your form and then use:
Code: Select allAxWindowsMediaPlayer1.URL = "C:\MyVideoFileName.mpg"
AxWindowsMediaPlayer1.settings.setMode("loop", True)
That would play your video repeatedly in the media player control.

I mean I just want it to be the video, no controls being seen or anything.

Right click the media player, click properties, change the control bar or whatever it is called to none, then dock it to the parent container. Then you can expand and it expands, and there is no pause/play/etc.

The video lags the program a bit.
Any ideas?

Use a BackgroundWorker for multithreading.
The lagg may be due to your system specs.
