How do I watch video and post at the same time?

I have windows 7, and I would like to watch a video and have TD open with the ability to post without minimizing the video.
How do I do that?
ETA Nevermind, figured it out.

I actually have a system for this.
I use a DisplayFusion hotkey to move Firefox to the right of the screen and resize it; it's normally maximized with the Bookmarks sidebar open (All-In-One Sidebar version). Once I close the Firefox sidebar, my Firefox working area is about 1130 pixels wide, which is plenty for just about every web site and not much smaller than the 1300 pixels in my normal maximized/sidebar state.
Then I use my remote or other hotkeys to start Windows Media Center, restore it to a window, and move it from my plasma TV (which naturally is off) onto my desktop. I position its window to the left of Firefox. The WMC window is 708x428 pixels, which isn't too bad on my 1920x1200 monitor. Then I can watch TV live or DVR'd right beside my Firefox window, and I have a HD HomeRun Prime with CableCard, so I get all the channels.
