Video Overlay

Im messing around with some code I found online.
what it does is play a video file, and creates an overlay image when the video loads and plays it with the overlay.

Couldn't figure out a couple of things.

ist, the video player doesn't seem to  be loading.


2nd, having an error thrown on this line:
MediaItem.OverlayRect = New Rectangle(New Point(30, 10), New Size(MediaItem.VideoSize.Width, 30), MediaItem.VideoSize.Height, 10)

getting an error system.drawing.point cannot be converted to integer

This is a download link to the code
