Embedding a VLC player into a WPF application

Question

I am interested in embedding a VLC player into a WPF application. It is to be used as a quality control tool where the user can watch a movie, pause, and move to different frames in order to get a good idea of how the movie looks. Most of these will be MP4 files, but with a few .MOV files. (Hence the need for VLC) Does anybody know where to start? I have seen the activex page and am thinking that would be the best way to go. Does anyone have any insights or a link to a good guide?

Take a look at VideoLan DotNet, they have VLC controls for WPF and Winforms.

Here is the tutorial.

You'll want to use the VLC ActiveX plugin.
