Watch Movies in MS Paint

[mischief_ash]

Hey guys, did you know that you can watch movies in paint ? But u can't do anything (Just watch it while its playing in Media Player Classic, winamp or any other movie player you use.


1.Open your favourite movie player and play the move (I played the .avi, format in Media Player Classic) (.mpg also works)(VLC Player will also do)

2.Hit "PrintScreen", keep playing the movie in the player, don't stop it.

3.Open MSPaint.

4.Select "Edit > Paste" Or Hit "CTRL+V"

You can watch movies in Paint!

But there are no Pause, Next, Previous, Stop etc. buttons

Experiment with other formats too, it doesn't play DivX , Flash movies.

He's basically showing how an active screenshot works. It's not really recommended because it's not very useful for most users, myself included.

Hmm.. can you save the image in Paint and watch it later?

Just take the screenshot when you are playing the video. go to paint and just ctrl+v there. I will start playing from the same point. as it will be playing in the background.
