# I tried doing a grab with wingrab
but that just kept playing the movie in wingrab.. It did the same when I used printscreen and pasted into photoshop (which was pretty cool, watching a dvd play in tattyshop)

I'll see if I can lay my hands on a copy of vood

# Print Screen
can only grab video if you turn hardware acceleration off in windows properties.

Technical bit:
This is because TV cards, DVD players, and most movie file players use a feature called "Picture in picture" to offer a hardware scalable picture with no CPU overhead. The main bitmap that windows renders to the display (and hence is grabbed with Prt Scr) contains a single colour where the PIP data appears (dunno what colour that is in windows, but on my Amiga with Picasso96 graphics drivers, it uses RGB $111111). Hence you still seeing the PIP data when pasting it into Photoshop.
