Repaint without "Autoredraw"

I have an application embedding a Media Player control. The doc's recommend switching off the "autoredraw" for the form harbouring the player (and the doc's are right: Strange behaviour ensued when I tried setting it to true).

Now my form is slow to repaint after having been wholly or partially hidden by other objects. Is there another way I can boost the repainting of the form, even though using the Media Player and having to switch off autoredraw?

best regards everybody

Is it possible to place the control on another, hidden form?
If not, you could use API in place of the control.
