Watch Movies in Ms Paint !, Really I'm NOT JOKING !

[Siddhartha_t69]

what's so funny there?
That's because of the function called hardware video overlay...
if that is turned off. then the screenshot of the current frame will be taken...not the video.

The tip is great.

 

[Third Eye]

I know it.

The question we should all be asking here is .... why the heck would anyone want to waste time gushing over something that has no practical application whatsoever?

 

[rohan]

man more than paint's capability, it looks like a GDI bug/glitch sort of thing to me.... never know however.

and no matter what, it isn't the capability of MS Paint at all. It's like the area which paint considers to be the 'video' area is still kept alive on the screen even after the video-playing application is closed.

I already found this by accident when I wanted to catch a shot from a movie to put as my wallpaper. You can even watch movies on your desktop wallpaper by saving the image you pasted and setting it as your wallpaper.

i also found it by accident, some times earlier, never thought of posting thou.

Cooooooooooooooooooooooooool man ThankYous.

This happens , actually the movie is not playing in ms paint , if u close the player the video stops in it too.

 

[Choto Cheeta]

it happens with any media player... this is know to many... infact there are more guides on how to take a screen shot by avoiding this problem rather than explaining the problem to new users
