How did they do that?

Just now I downloaded the 8th episode of Nanatsu no Taizai, as subbed by someone called "FedSubs".

It was ostensibly a 720p sub, but when I ran it, it went fullscreen and disabled all the controls on MPC. Mouse clicks (right or left) did nothing, and it didn't obey any keyboard commands. I used CTL-ALT-DEL to try to bring up the task manager, which should be absolutely on top of everything, but the playback was in front of that. The only thing I could do was choose "log out" from the CTL-ALT-DEL popup.

What in hell did they do? I deleted the file and won't be doing any more experimenting with it, nor anything else from that circle.

UPDATE: Shortly thereafter, I tried watching the first episode of Divergence Eve and it did the same thing. So I concluded something had gone wrong with my copy of MPC, and I upgraded to the most recent version.

I apologize to FedSubs for doubting them. I don't think their file had anything to do with it.
