Screen capture that will get video instead of a black square?

[bizzybody]

I need to capture a screenshot showing a video playing in Windows Media Player 11, but Windows' built in function only gets the not quite black overlay color inside the MP11 window.

There was a free screen capture utility I used with Win9x that took over control of the Print Screen key and would caputure anything on the screen to the clipboard, in spite of various softwares' attempts to prevent it. Can't remember the name of it.

It doesn't matter as much which app you're trying to use as much as which video renderer you're using (overlay mixer, vmr, etc)

hypersnap 6 will give you screencap with video capped

but you wont always get sharp result, with some codec it has trouble showing pixelised video capp

Just play a .wmv file on WMP11. Freeware PicPick can capture video image.
