if your using media player...
Performance and set the video acceleration to none.

You can ow use print screen to take a pic of the .avi

you need to change the settings in your media player
change video acceleration to none in the tools - options - performance bit (in windows media player)

then print screen works fine :)

VirtualDub will work with AVIs very nicely.
