How do you playback MP4 video in a Windows Forms App

I'm wondering what the best way is to play back an MP4 video in a Windows Forms application (.NET 2.0) on Vista and XP.

+2  A: 

You could Embed Windows Media Player on a Form.

UPDATE: WMP doesn't support MP4 out-of-the-box, but there are codecs packs that add such support. It's possible to bundle a codec installation with your setup, but I think WMP is able to fetch and install MP4 codec on its own.

Windows Media Player does not play MP4 files (it only does on Windows 7)

I found this codec pack and it works great:http://www.medialooks.com/products/directshow_filters/quicktime_filter.html

A: 

Either embedding media player or look at managed DirectX (although MDX is a bit old now)
