Thread: a running movie inside picture??

I tried to take some screenshots from my favourite movie scenes, but came over something interesting.
I let my VCL player run a movie, then I took screenshot with my "PRINT SCRN" button on keyboard. Then I pasted the picture in paint (CTRL+V). Amazingly it seems like the movie is running inside the picture (I am still running the VCL player, but in background). The paint window is on full screen, so there isnt any window that has came in front of my picture
When I turn off the VCL player, then suddely the part where the movie is on picture becomes black. But then again when I turn on a new movie with vcl player, the movie starts running inside the picture.
Maybe hard to understand but you should try doing it urself.
I'm sure someone has an explanation for this.

//edit this should work with windows media player, realplayer etc.

Hehe, I looked at the screenshot.JPG from Windows Explorer as a thumbnail image. Yep also here the movie is running inside the thumbnail if you place the movie player at exact spot as when the screenshot were taken.

hahaaaa ! ! ! what a crazy thing !!!
It's happening a little different with me, the movie is not being displayed perfectly but there's something in the background going on hahaha !!

Actually.... the first experience i used VCL and then tryed after with WMP and the result was the same described by you Ltt, a perfect movie inside the picture!
My answer for you is...... No, i don't have an explanation for that haha !!
