 <p>While the Windows Media Player Com might not <em>officially</em> support a feature like this, its quite easy to 'fake' this. If you use a CtlControls2, you have access to the built-in "step(1)" function, which proceeds exactly one frame.</p> <p>I've discovered that if you call <em>step(1)</em> after calling <em>pause()</em>, searching on the trackbar will also update the video.</p> <p>It's not pretty, but it works!</p>
