MPlayer - Configuring to drag windows


Currently my MPlayer is working pretty well, can't say im too displeased with it.

I would like to somehow get MPlayer to drag windows playing a video without losing the video's content until the mouse is released (just like this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JD6BiKnLzck)

Right now if i try dragging the window the video will stay in place and all i'll see is a blue background...any help?

Thanks!

You will probably need to change the video output driver it is using. I usually get the problem you are talking about (blue when moving) when MPlayer uses the "xv" driver. If I use the x11 or OpenGL drivers, I can then move the windows properly.
