Sounds like you don't get repaint happening but have the right direction, picturebox plus image will work if you do not disable the picture box.

My guess is that you should offhand the working part of the method to another thread to enable paints of the ui thread to happen, and it will work because your ui thread repaints periodically when not busy

perhaps use a background worker, threadpool or manually created thread to do the work and let ui be ui and it will look sharp

Solution 2

.NET Framework does not support gif animation. When you load an animated gif using Image class, just the first frame will be displayed.

If you want, you can also use DirectX, but it is a bit complicated...

This website is in Italian, but I think it's a good resource, maybe you can translate it with Google Translate. Search for DirectX9 Tutorials and look for audiovideo.
