Screen capture from RealPlayer

[GlennB]

It's because most video playing under Windows is playing as an "overlay" in front of the regular desktop display. The black (or other colour), is just a placeholder for the overlay.

 

To take a screen capture from RealPlayer, you can try this (I haven't), taken from another site:

 

In ver 6.x, 8.x, 10.x: Select "Tools" menu, then "Perferences". In the left "Category" panel, click "Hardware". Next, in the right panel under "Video card compatibility", click to remove the checkmark from "Best performance", drag the checkmark to "Most reliable" to disable optimized video and overlays. Close completely and restart RealPlayer or RealOne Player.

 

In ver 5.x: Select "Tools" menu, then "Install/Configure Devices...". In the left "Category" panel, click "Hardware". Next, in the right panel under "Video card compatibility", click to remove the checkmark from "Use optimized video display" button. Close completely and restart RealOne Player.

 

In Older G2: If you are in "compact view", switch first to "normal view" (from "View" menu). Then select Options/Preferences from the menu and click "Performance" tab. Then, at the bottom of "Preferences" window, turn off the "Use optimized video display" option and click on "OK".

Don't forget to reset afterwards.

Cheers
