watch movies w/ wow fullscreen

[mightytank]

hey y'all. again this is not something that i have written, so i take no credit for it, but its a cool mod that that i found and use that allows you to watch movies / video through a resizable black frame from another player like media player.

D/L from curse.com HERE

How it works:
WoWVid creates an blank frame with adjustable RBG values, using this frame. The blank frame with the proper color set will allow video to "show through" being played by any other software operating in overlay mode. Most TV software and most accelerated DVD or video playback software operates in overlay mode as it reduces CPU usage.



How to use:
1) Play a video on a player. Resize it to be the size that you want it to show up in game and place it on your desktop to where you want it to be in game
2) Run WoW. Once youve selected your character and are in game there should be a BLACK window in WoW. If not open the options window by R-Clicking the WV Icon on your minimap. Make sure the box next to Show/Hide WoWVid is checked
3) Move the black box by dragging it to where you placed you player on your desktop. You can resize WoWVid if needed by using the little resize circle in lower right corner of the WoWVid Window. It is important that the WoWVid Window and your Player window line up or you will see no video.



All this info is on the curse d/l page, just thought i'd post it for lazy ppl who dont like to look = ). :wave:

For those using VLC Media Player, VLC uses these values:

Red: 0
Green: 0
Blue: 1
