[help] Desktop Snapshot Help

I was just wondering what everyone uses to take their desktop snapshots?? I have been using HoverSnap, but it won't capture what is playing on my media player, which if wmplayerc. Anyone have any ideas of what I should be using or what to do different to capture the videos in the screen shot.

Thanks for anyone's help.

in order to take snaps of the video playing well for me i have to disable hardware acceleration. go to your display properties>settings>advanced>troubleshoot>then put hardware acceleration to none. or check in most media players they have the option to just take off acceleration for the player not a system wide change. and when i take dtop shots i just use the printscreen button then paste in PS.

It is DVD, it is just an mpg music video, but go ahead and explain if you would like to.

a DVD, in its drive will go directly from the disk itself to your monitor, it goes right past the computer to the screen, this is used to a)copy protect DVD images, and to save cpu usage. so when you do a screen capture, you won't see the video image.

That is true, I didn't think of that.
