How to: Play Media using a VideoDrawing
To play an audio or video file, you use a xref:System.Windows.Media.VideoDrawing and a xref:System.Windows.Media.MediaPlayer. There are two ways to load and play media. The first is to use a xref:System.Windows.Media.MediaPlayer and a xref:System.Windows.Media.VideoDrawing by themselves, and the second way is to create your own xref:System.Windows.Media.MediaTimeline to use with the xref:System.Windows.Media.MediaPlayer and xref:System.Windows.Media.VideoDrawing.
Note
When distributing media with your application, you cannot use a media file as a project resource, like you would an image. In your project file, you must instead set the media type to
Contentand setCopyToOutputDirectorytoPreserveNewestorAlways.
Use a VideoDrawing and a MediaPlayer
The following example uses a xref:System.Windows.Media.VideoDrawing and a xref:System.Windows.Media.MediaPlayer to play a video file once.

To gain additional timing control over the media, use a xref:System.Windows.Media.MediaTimeline with the xref:System.Windows.Media.MediaPlayer and xref:System.Windows.Media.VideoDrawing objects. The xref:System.Windows.Media.MediaTimeline enables you to specify whether the video should repeat.
Use a MediaTimeline
The following example uses a xref:System.Windows.Media.MediaTimeline with the xref:System.Windows.Media.MediaPlayer and xref:System.Windows.Media.VideoDrawing objects to play a video repeatedly.

Note that, when you use a xref:System.Windows.Media.MediaTimeline, you use the interactive xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.ClockController returned from the xref:System.Windows.Media.Animation.Clock.Controller%2A property of the xref:System.Windows.Media.MediaClock to control media playback instead of the interactive methods of xref:System.Windows.Media.MediaPlayer.
