A Strange but true phenomenon!!!

A strange phenomenon happened with me today... While watching a video in my XP machine through Windows Media Player 10, i thought of taking a screenshot of a particular screen in that video.. what i did was, i navigated to that particular screen and pressed ALT+PRT SCR to take the screen shot, opened up MS Paint, and pasted the screenshot.. to make it lossless i saved it in png format.. continued watching the rest of the video, after sometime, i paused the video and thought of opening the picture and to my surprise the picture showed the screen which was paused on the Windows Media Player 10 rather than what was saved onto it..

haha i am very much surprised .. thats not all ... i resumed the video and simultaneously opened up the pic in windows pic and fax viewer, again to my surprise, the windows pic and fax viewer was playing the entire video in sync with the Windows Media Player 10 (only the border of the player and the timestamp was static (ie it was showing me the details of when i took the screenshot ))

Wow does this happen often??.. YES

I will explain the phenomenon...

1> Open up windows media player, maximise it and take a screen shot.. save the screen shot thru mspaint.

2> Open any video thru windows media player

3> Open the pic using any ms product (pic&fax viewer or mspaint or ms picture manager) .. i havent seen using any other product cos i havent any

4> Make sure that u r overlapping the pic window with that of windows media player ie with the same x and y coordinates and same size of the 2 windows, make the z index of pic viewer higher than that of media player..

5> Now u can see the underlying video thru the pic

now i am .. as to whether this is a feature or is it a bug...

Has anyone seen this phenomenon?? ... please respond ur views and experience about the same :)

I am in a state of
