I figured it out!


Along time ago there was a little easter egg found on the web, that if you opened MsPaint, and painted with a specific colour, a WMP movie could be seen behind the MsPaint window, almost like a transparent colour!

So I found VLC uses a slightly different colour than WMP, but I was able to paint the "TV Screen" this magical colour and the "TV set" like normal, then save the image as a BMP. Then loaded up the image in a picture box that was sitting on top of VLC. The video only played on the special colour, while any other colour blocked the video.


FIY: the colour for VLC is R:0/G:0/B:1 - Hue:160/Sat:240/Lum:0
