use a Process, and simply "run" the file (If you happen to know the parameters for launching in fullscreen, then add that too).

Dim prc As New Process
        prc.StartInfo.FileName = "C:\mediafile.avi"
        prc.StartInfo.Arguments.Insert(0, "-Fullscreen")
        prc.Start()

you can also use media player control object.
add this from component.

on the form load

Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
AxMediaPlayer1.FileName = "C:\movie1.avi"
AxMediaPlayer1.Play()
AxMediaPlayer1.ShowControls = False
AxMediaPlayer1.AllowChangeDisplaySize = False
AxMediaPlayer1.EnableContextMenu = False
AxMediaPlayer1.ClickToPlay = False
AxMediaPlayer1.SendKeyboardEvents = False
Me.Cursor.Hide()


At the end of stream event

Private Sub AxMediaPlayer1_EndOfStream(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As AxMediaPlayer._MediaPlayerEvents_EndOfStreamEvent) Handles AxMediaPlayer1.EndOfStream

AxMediaPlayer1.FileName = "C:\movie2.avi"
AxMediaPlayer1.Play()

End Sub

on the form unload , set back the cursor

Me.Cursor.Show()
