If this works the way you make it sound, I will LOVE YOU MAN...
...errr... in a manly, completely non-gay platonic sense, that is...

Well, I decided I'm going the Directshow route...
How am I going to go about playing DVD's with it though? If I can't figure that out I guess I'll use BSPlayer...just want to try make it as fast as possible and with less dependencies so to speak

It's all in the SDK, use MSDN Web.

As frodo was saying, download the DirectX 9.0 SDK. There is sample code in there for how to play DVDs. It may be for C++ only though. For Visual Basic, check out this link.
You will still need to install a commercial DVD player (or atleast the DLLs related to DVD playback) like WinDVD or PowerDVD in order to get the DVD DirectShow filter.

wooo wooooo i DO love you NoPistonPC...working on my video part now and its amazingly fast and easy to use DirectShow! Uses hardly any CPU power. I haven't started working with DVD yet though, but I'll keep ya'll posted.
deadweasel: Try it! I uploaded a really nice sample I found on planet source code. I'm assuming you're writing your software in VB... This sample should have everything you'll need.

glad to hear you got it working
BTW, I've been playing around with WinAmp vis plugins lately and I'm going to try making a DirectShow filter that's a wrapper for WinAmp visualizations so you can use them easily with your DirectShow-based player. Also, I plan to make a parametric equalizer DirectShow filter as well.
I'll keep you posted... I'm not touching the computer for a while since I'll be heading to Vegas this weekend with my girlfriend. VEGAS, BABY, VEGAS!!!

Keep me posted on this. I have been trying to find a solution for ages, i'm probably searching for the wrong thing as i have no idea how to use winamp visuals in a vb app without having winamp installed or running any instance of winamp.

AE, I've searched far and wide for something like that and didn't find anything either. That's why I got started on all of this. There is some commercial stuff out there (including MobileMediaCenter in this forum) but nothing open source or available in COM object form.
When I get it working as a DirectShow filter, it will be easy to use from within a vb app without any need for running an instance of winamp.
