Man, how much time do we have to spent on such silly things. Another alternative *could* have been to open the video with a decent mediaplayer (MPC or ZoomPlayer) and then use the integrated snapshot functionality. But who knows if that works with wmv (it does with normal avi-container material and mpg-vids).
Glad you could work out a solution Mike! Patric MK> As it turned out, the HypersnapDX that Patric suggested wouldnt capture the MK> video image either. Just like all the other capture mechanisms I'd tried up MK> to that point, it captured anything on the desktop EXCEPT the content of the MK> video. Which is what i wanted in the first place.
