DO NOT COMMENT UNTIL YOU READ THIS AND WATCH THE VIDEO

How to get a window with Windows Media Player (literatly!).

This works for both Version 10 and 11, and possibly all versions.

1. Open up a video file with WMP (Whatever it accepts). Keep it open and shown at all times, as it will not work if you go to the library.
2.Press "Print Screen" on the keyboard. Is is usually to the right of backspace.
3. Open your image editor (Paint, Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, etc.). Make a new image, size is not important. Right click on the blank space and "paste".
4. Move the header around a bit. Volia! (The top part, noob)
5. (Optional) Save the image to whereever. Use the explorer to get to where ever you saved the image. The image is shown in the Thumbnail or Filmstrip, or to the left in details for the other modes. If the screen is blank, look down the bottom, as there should be light. If there isn't move it around, as it might be dark, and if darkness in the bottom prevails, you did something to the video/player.

NOTE:Paint is standard in all Windows computers, so is the first choice, but I'm using one of my cousin's and Paint's got a bug. This is uncut.

  • Nice Capture CARD!

  • Trying using a screen recorder like bsr

  • i am tyr arrrg nvm

  • lol, learned this ages ago

  • Hmm... If you take that color you'll notice the edges are darker than the center. Its like the color is a shading but yet its a solid color I'm going to try to take that color and bring it onto a different OS and see how it looks there.

  • The trick is actually a disadvantage sometimes.

  • cool

  • Urm... that trick is like _old... Knew that when I was 10yo or something, and it should work with most videostreams. (Windowns Media Player, WinTV, ect.)
