    Take Screenshot of DVD Movie

    Has anyone tried to do this?? Its really annoying. You open up paint and paste, and you can watch the movie through there.

    (atleast on my weird comp anyway... )

    Yep Ah the wonders of overlay and null pixels You can turn hardware acceleration to none in Display - Settings - Advanced - Troubleshooting, and then can taken pictures of DVDs (no overlay).

    Cool!
    No matter how fool-proof your program is, there will always be a better fool.

    It allows you to take pictures, even videos (if your comp is fast enough!) of crap copyrighted MS video

    It's probably trying to make an overlay.

    Most DVD programs won't run because using an overlay is far more efficient and almost 100% guaranteed to be there unless your PC's broken.

    You're best off using the program to take a screenshot.


    But yeah, watching it through paint is mildly amusing Or, if you're mental, set your button-face colour (that boring grey) to the overlay colour and have fun
