That only brings up a big black nothing in the spot where the video is supposed to be. Except sometimes the video shows through, from the background. But its not actually there. For instance if I play something in Media Player, and take a screen cap, and paste it into Paint Shop Pro (though I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter what program you use to paste, as it's not the image editting program that's creating the anomaly) it usually pastes at like 80% the actual size. Yet the image of the video is still 100% and cropped off where it can't fit in the image of the print screen. Then if I go back to Media Player and exit, or minimize, go back to Paint Shop Pro, it's completely blank. The only reason the picture of the video was still there is because it was still running in the background of the desktop or something. Virtualdub's a good suggestion, a program called Snag-It was created for this very reason though. And I think there's other programs as well. I dunno what you guys are talking about, either you've installed something to work around this problem, you have some off-the-wall OS, or maybe you're experiencing what I described above and don't realize it, or you're talking out your hind quarters :D
