Frequently Asked Questions - Any Capture Screen

1. How do I capture surfaces of video games or DVD players?
   Any Capture supports DirectX capture such as video games, DVD players and some video applications. Press Capture menu then check Enable DirectX Capture menu item, click the DirectX application window title bar to make sure it's the front window, and then use Scroll Lock hotkey to start DirectX capture. If your default capture mode is DirectX capture, you can also hit the default capture mode hotkey.
   
   Note: The DirectX capture will work or not, depending on which video player software you're using, and if it uses DirectX or not.
   
   
2. I tried to capture Media Player or Real Player, Why do I grab only a blank, black screenshot?
   The problem is usually due to graphics hardware acceleration being used to display the image. The newer media players from Microsoft and RealNetworks are good about trying to use any graphics hardware acceleration that is available on the system. Most video capture programs used to capture video from a video camera use "hardware overlay" by default for their video preview. Note that this kind of problem affects all screen capture programs, and even the image put in the clipboard by the PrintScreen key.
   
   The best solution is to disable hardware acceleration in the application that is playing the video, or disable hardware acceleration system wide. To disable graphics hardware acceleration globally for all applications, select Control Panel>Display>Properties>Settings>Advanced>Troubleshooting in Windows 2000 or XP, on other versions of Windows select Control Panel>System>Performance tab>Graphics>Advanced settings. In both cases slide the Hardware Acceleration slider to None.
   
   Windows Media Player, RealNetworks and Realone Player must use hardware acceleration for some media file. If you disable Hardware acceleration, they can not work well. All screen capture software have the same trouble.
