Z ZapWizard Member Sep 9, 2004 #2 You need an overlay capture program. -Why it doesn't work normaly: DVD Video is an overlay over your normal windows desktop. Meaning, the graphics card draws a box that is an exact color. The graphics card then fills that box with the proper color. Since, this is all processed inside the graphics card, and not system memory. A screen capture only gets the colored box. So search for an overlay capture program. They do exist.
