your link does not work/.

As it's WPF, you can place an image above the media element, and if it is a PNG with transparency, your image will appear above the video. You set Canvas.ZIndex on your controls to set their order, which is far from intuitive IMO.

*Edit by Mark S*
I usually use a Grid to overlay an element on another element as Christian described, something like this:

<Grid>
    <MediaElement />
    <Image />
</Grid>

The link works perfectly in Firefox. I tried in Chrome and it's true.
Try adding http:// at start, and try again

The order of elements in the Children collection of a Panel element also determines the Z-order, so instead of using Panel.ZIndex, simply placing the desired topmost element after other elements will work.

It works for you because you have permission to view the file.
