Problem

Anybody know of a program that can detect if you're viewing a video, and if you are, prevent the current power plan from turning off the monitor and/or putting the computer to sleep? (For Windows 7, or one for Vista might also work.)

Fix for: Power plan override?

Low Risk

I think some video players can disable those without extra tools. I think VLC is capable to do so and perhaps Windows Media Player too.
