yeah, a regular screen capture won't work. I never could figure out if it was to try to protect copyrights? or its because the capture can't work alongside the video decoder. you're gonna need something like FrameShots.

In Media Player, go to Tools->Options->Performance, and turn hardware acceleration off completely.

Reopen media player, and the Print-Screen button will work.

Re-enable hardware acceleration when you are done, so your videos will play smoothly.

Ding ding.


It's got nothing to do with copyrights.
