Your video playback is using a rarely used bit of your video card which is called an overlay. The overlay is switched into the video area on the graphics card at the point of the video stream exiting the card so the computer is not aware of it as part of the desktop.If you get the playback software then it should have settings for the renderer used and you will have it set to a hardware one such as DX. If you change that to a software one then it play back much slower but the desktop (GDI) will be in the loop and you see your screen shot when you print screen capture it.WinAmp is a classic one for this as it makes use of the overlay when available. I guess they all are now then... You can usually tell that its doing it if you grab the border and move the window, the video lags and draws into non windowed desktop area for a split second until the framework catches up and tells the card clip region to move.--update, just checked WinAmp has Preferences/Video/"Use Video Overlay" checkbox. Untick it, restart it, and try again. Once your done then tick it again as its faster to use an overlay if one is available.</blockquote>
