I would like to be able to capture a streaming video playing fullscreen. I started capture and minimized Virtual Dub. I just got a frozen frame - no motion and no sound. Are there special capture settings to do this, or is it not really designed to capture streaming video like that?
Thanks. |

Not really designed for that. Two problems:
- There is a particular video display path called "overlay plane" that cannot be captured by normal screen capture methods. You'll know this is happening if a standard screenshot (PrtSc) doesn't capture the image either. This is because the video is actually playing on a secondary screen that's put on top of the desktop by the video card.
- You need to have audio loopback set up in order to capture the audio that the computer is playing. This only works if you have a "Stereo Mix" or "What U Hear" input available to select, or if you're using one of the recent versions with WASAPI loopback capture.
It's also possible for players to enable "protected video path," in which case the OS itself blocks capture of the video and audio, but I don't think that's that common for web players.

Would also need Directx enabled in the player settings used to play the video. After pressing (PrtSc) on keyboard paste to paint or wordpad etc to test if the player video screen display was captured |
