Detach embedded video from browser to windows

**Computer_Freak** · 25-05-2009

DetachVideo is a lightweight application that, when running, allows you to pop out windows for YouTube and other sites' video content.Video sharing sites like Youtube provides a good interface for the streaming videos but there is one thing it lacked a lot. One can not detach the video playing in the web browser to the desktop by default but DetachVideo does it.This is a lifesaver when browsing YouTube or any other video site.

DetachVideo is a simple stand alone application. You run it, it sits in your system tray. Just place your mouse over a video and press F12, and the video is moved to a floating, always on top window that you can move anywhere you like, and keep on browsing. Just make shure you don't close the brower tab or scroll too far, or the video will dissapear. And it can of course show multiple detached videos.

The hot key can be changed from F12 if that conflicts with your current hot key setup. DetachVideo is freeware, for Windows only.The pop-out window is set to always be on top of other windows, so you can have a video playing while you work on something else without losing sight of it.

If you need to close your browser, or for any other reason, to have an embedded video as if it were open in your media player directly, this little script will help you do it.It is a little buggy, and doesn't work on all video sites, like Vimeo, for example, and if you navigate away from the source page, you'll lose the video, which is a pain. DetachVideo is a tiny .EXE file, which needs no installation, and can be run from a USB portable drive without problems.

The only thing that needs changing is that when you resize the detached video window, the video, etc. that's being displayed should be resized to fit the window. It does not work well with all web-video. you cannot resize video in popout and you have to keep original page open.
