I have a video playing behind some transparent Pictureboxes, but the Pictureboxes see right through it.
Any ideas for how to fix this?

I've asked this before. I don't think there is a way to fix this.

There is probably some way. Did you try googling it?

When you set the background of them to transparent, it thinks you mean you want to see what is in the very back, to make it seem like there is no background, but since you have a media player, it is going to ignore it and see the form's background. Are you making this as a WPF application or a normal one? Because if this was finished, the graphical features of the PS3's menu thing is probably over the top for VB.

It would be best to try to remake it in WPF, as it is more graphically advanced, as it designs everything on the form straight from the video/graphics card other than normal one which does not. If you have it almost finished, than I can't really help you about your picturebox problem...

How easy would it be to reprogram it all in wpf?
Just copying code?
