Going to try snagit as I haven't used that one ever.Dear Nathan,
Thank you for contacting CyberLink Technical Support.
We understand your concern related with PowerDVD.
Please note that while playing the Blu-ray you can not take the screen capture because this feature is not available to take the screen capture in PowerDVD.
Please feel free to contact us back for any further clarification or for any assistance related to CyberLink products.
Thanks and Regards

As I recall, the first method devised to circumvent HD DVD/Blu-Ray protection made use of screen caps. Hence, screen cap feature was removed after that.bubba wrote:why the hell they take it out for? makes no since...
For the comment on Power DVD 8.0 not playing HD-DVD's you are correct... This is what CyberLink says about that:InspectahACE wrote:WEll...I know in PowerDvd 7 Ultra you can press the letter "C" to do a screen capture(no caps required)....try that( if you haven't yet tried of course..i didnt see you mention it so i thought id try )..i noticed the missing capture button myself on 8.0.but apparently the version of PDVD8 that I have doesnt do HD-DVD so back to 7 it was for me
So, what I did is like they said... Updated version 7.2 up to version 8.0 and I get all the new features and can still play my HD-DVD's. They took the damn screen capture feature away though and I don't get that. I want to be able to do screen caps if I want to... I bought the $100 Blu-Ray player, the $100 software to play it and the $34.99 movie... I own it all, it's all legit and I should be able to do a screen capture... I got someone in Cyberlink to e-mail me back just a few minutes ago...After Toshiba made their announcement that it will no longer develop, manufacture and market HD DVD format discs and the fact that there will be limited new title releases in HD DVD format, CyberLink has decided to remove HD DVD support from PowerDVD 8. However, CyberLink will continue to support and maintain HD DVD movie playback in PowerDVD Ultra (version 7.3).
For the PowerDVD Ultra users who wish to keep HD DVD capabilities, we highly suggest them to purchase a full version of PowerDVD 8. The full version of PowerDVD 8 does not uninstall the previous version and will allow users to have both Blu-ray and HD DVD players. Users can use PowerDVD 8 to playback BD and DVD titles, and use PowerDVD Ultra to playback HD DVD movies.
For the PowerDVD Ultra users who want Blu-ray capabilities only, they can purchase the upgrade version. The upgrade version replaces PowerDVD Ultra with version 8. Hence, they will no longer be able to have HD DVD movie playback. Since this is an upgrade version, the price is relatively lower.
Maybe I'll get an answer on this tomorrow.Dear Nate,

That's most likely the reason they removed it after PowerDVD7.hnzw_rui wrote:As I recall, the first method devised to circumvent HD DVD/Blu-Ray protection made use of screen caps. Hence, screen cap feature was removed after that.
They do it for the same reason you can't PrintScreen capture a regular DVD in most programs... DRM. The content industry doesn't want people reusing parts of or outright copying movies that way.Sapientun wrote:Seriously, that's some weird stuff that Cyberlink are doing.

What about non-protected DVDs... like those you author yourself?Kougar wrote:They do it for the same reason you can't PrintScreen capture a regular DVD in most programs... DRM.

I don't know for sure, but I would guess that it still wouldn't work? The media industry forced Microsoft to change how WMP handled DVD media with XP, originally you could use PrintScreen on it just fine.Sapientun wrote: What about non-protected DVDs... like those you author yourself?
doesn't work on videos like that as it's not 3D.vicaphit wrote:Try Fraps, in vista you can pretty much take a screenshot of anything with fraps. I was even able to record myself just browsing around on my desktop.
