About WoWVid
WoWVid
WoWVid (WoW Video) allows the user to watch movies inside WoW while doing dailies or grinding.
(originally by Norpse)
How does it work
WoWVid creates a texture that when properly configured, allows media playing in the background to project inside WoW.
It is a pure lua addon, no executables.
You will however need an external player of your choice that is capable of playing video in Overlay mode.
Most popular media players (and several freeware ones) support this mode of operation.
Setup
- Start World of Warcraft.
- Once in the game press Esc to bring up the Game Menu.
- Select Video -> Graphics -> Display Settings -> "Windowed(FullScreen)"
Example configurations for 2 popular media players: (thanks to Garual for the write-up)
- start VLC
- click Tools
- Preferences
- go under Video
- make sure Accelerated video output is on
- for Output select DirectX(DirectDraw)
- start playback
- start WoW
- type /wv config and set WoWVid to R:0 G:0 B:1
- place WoWVid window over the VLC one.
- start KMPlayer
- press F2
- click on Video Processing
- select tab Renderer
- for Renderer choose Overlay mixer
- start playback
- start WoW
- set WoWVid to R:15 G:0 B:15
- place WoWVid window over the KMPlayer one
Addon Configuration
/wowvid or /wv from command line or use the minimap button.

Does this work with Mac/ Itunes? If so how do you set it up?
Thanks
Any chance on supporting MPC-HC?
Is it possible to use skype with this addon? So I can play wow but still video chat with someone.
Perfect. Just what I was looking for and crazy easy to set up. Love that it works with VLC. I can barely believe anyone else uses a different media player these days!
Can't figure out how to get it to work with my mac...
VNC options for output are:
Default
YUV Video Output
Mac OSX Open GL Video Output
Video memory output
Stats video output function
Dummy video output function
Color ASCII art video output.
Ideas?
I wonder if there is a way to make it so you can do this with say megavideo full screen, I'll experiment and see if i can find a way.
are u brain damaged or what?
