Screen Capture Problems
Hi Im watching a video in WMP 9 and i paused the video then hit alt+printscreen then went into paint and tried to paste it. It pasts fine but the video is black. It shows the player and everything but I cant get it to save and capure the video at that time when i pause it.

It shows the player and everything but I cant get it to save and capure the video at that time when i pause it. I have tried to paste it into Paintshop pro and photoshop still nothing. I have also tried third party screen caputre software.. still nothing. Its weird casue it shows the video part of it when i paste it in and the video file is still open But as soon as i close the video file and go back into paint its gone. Is there anyway possible to capure a screen shot of a video.
thanx,

That's because the playing video is using an overlay, think of the screen in layers, and that layer is being excluded from capture.
PowerDVD has a screen capture function as well.
