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... :D)

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).
Hmm... thats weird.. this comp as 24 colours, instead of 32....
It looks really ****ty... :(
16 is surprisingly better. :p

It allows you to take pictures, even videos (if your comp is fast enough!) of crap copyrighted MS video :)
You can also blt the pixels.
my dvd software (cyberlink powerdvd) can take shots of a movie by pressing a key and saving it to file
Doesn't work?? I tried it, and when I tried to play the movie, I got an error about colors. :(Quote:

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 :D Or, if you're mental, set your button-face colour (that boring grey) to the overlay colour and have fun :D
maybe you should have a look around on download.com :)
