I sometimes like to watch a video, or a series of videos in the background while doing other stuff on the computer. To do that I usually reduce the size of the web browser window as much as possible. This is to make sure that most of the desktop space is available for those other tasks.
Detach Video is a portable application for Windows by Donation Coder’s own Skrommel, to automate part of that process.
We have tested Detach Video in all four major web browsers and found it to be working best in Firefox. In fact, it was the only browser in our tests where it only,detached the video from the page.
Used in other web browsers it detached not only the video, but other page contents as well.
The beauty of the application is its simplicity. Start it up and you will notice that it is running in the background. To detach a video move the mouse over it and press the F12 key.
That’s all. No other operation is required.

The detaching works only for one video at a time, which is a bit unfortunate. It also seems to only work on Youtube, or videos by Youtube and not with videos from other portals. Still, Detach Video has its uses, and there may be other video sites out there where it is fully compatible with.
Detach Video is available for download at Skrommel’s home on the web. (via Technospot)

I open the video in its own window and then move it wherever I want.
Wish I had room for a 2nd monitor though.
Does anyone know of something that would allow you to mount a 2nd monitor on top of the main monitor (like you see in those wall street pictures)? Are there brackets you use for this?
Something like this Jojo? http://www.ergoindemand.com/lcd-monitor-stands-multi-monitors.htm
I prefer the freeware OnTopReplica, it takes more than one click but has much more functionality. You covered it previously: http://www.ghacks.net/2010/06/17/ontopreplica-displays-application-snippets-always-on-top/
