what i meant was you can capture but it dosn't come out correctly.
Edit: What's software overlay anyway? I thought its supposed to capture the output.

The video overlay mode works as follows(if my knowledge is correct). Windows produces the entire image of the desktop, but leaves a rectangle of a certain colour empty.
The output of the video file is then passed directly to the graphics card, and is 'overlayed' on top of the empty block. This is done as it improves the video rendering speed, particularly in Full screen. Unfortunately the captured stuff(print screen) doesnt include what is sent direct to the graphics card, which is why you get a black rectangle.
To overcome the problem, you have to disable the overlay mode. This can be done as follows:-
1) go to run in the start menu and type mplayer2
2) open a video file
3) go to the file menu, then select properties
4) click on the advanced tab
5) double click where it says 'video renderer'
6) click the directdraw tab
7) uncheck all the check boxes, then click 'apply'
exit mediaplayer, then when you re-open it, you should be able to capture stuff

If you do that, you won't be able to watch BBC World in fullscreen. Well you could, but if you switch it to fullscreen, it has to buffer for a long time.
