Do we have any good movie players other than MediaPlayer in VB6?


That come with VB6? No.

If you don't want to roll your own using MCI (which won't necessarily play
all media files, for example I don't think wmv files can be played using
MCI) or DirectX (or derivitive of it such as DirectShow, DirectSound, etc.),
then I guess the MediaPlayer control is probably your best bet. You might
try googling for shareware or even freeware controls. I'd bet there are
quite a few.

MCI will play CDA, AVI, RMI, MID, WAV, AIF, AIFC, AIFF, AU, DAT, M1V,
MOV, M3U, MOV, MP2, MP2V, MP3, MPA, MPE, MPEG, MPG, MPV2, QT, SND, ASF,
ASX, IVF, RA, RAM, RM, RMM, WAX, WM, WMA, WMV, WVX (it actually uses
ActiveMovie/DirectShow).

It's not difficult to write an MCI-based app, but it's difficult to know
what the OP considers 'good' as opposed to WMP which also uses
DirectShow.
