If you've assigned the TMediaPlayer to TCanvas. Then you could conceivably
get the Window Handle and do a GetBitmapBits() on the actual display.
HOWEVER, realize one thing, that the MediaPlayer is really using the Client
AREA of the canvas as it's drawing space, and in reality, what's being
displayed may very well be just like a hole punched in a piece of paper, you
see what's through the hole, and not what's actually on the canvas.

Though I think you should be able to do it...
