ok, here's the weirdest thing
i was watching this video and i saw this screen and i screen copied it.
of course the next thing to do is past the screen in paint. and then, weird thing happened... i dont know how to explane... but after i paste it in the paint, i can move the pic around, but the section from the "movie" stays where it is, i can drag other part of the pic around, but the "movie" doesnt move at all. and after i closed the media player, the "movie" part from the pasted pic is gone!

... did anyone understand what i just said? Shocked told ya it's weird

Yep, happens to me too, I dunno who windows does the screenshot thingy, but would it have anything to do with the frames?

Thats because of DirectX Overlay, you cant take screenshots of movies unless you use a player like suggested above
