AW: like doing a short test for me?, was: No screenshot from LC video possible
My fault, obviously some people of you, who wanted to make the test couldn' even play my video. I forgot that a standard Windows machine doesn't have a codec for h.264 videos on board. So you would have had to install a codec (like the LAV filters). I now modified my test program, so that you can choose any of your own video files on your computer. So, if you would like to do another test, read below, my previous posting Thanks Tiemo -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: use-livecode [mailto:use-livecode-boun...@lists.runrev.com] Im Auftrag von Tiemo Hollmann TB via use-livecode Gesendet: Mittwoch, 12.

RE: No screenshot from LC video possible
Although this is for a browser and recommended for use by some banks. I have used this "app/plugin" before on Windows and it does prevent screenshots from taking place. https://www.trusteer.com/en/support/rapport-installation-links I don't know if it would interfere with Livecode, but it might be little program like this causing you some pain.

Re: No screenshot from LC video possible
I don't think it's DRM since the OP also said, " Up to now, this issue happens only at 2 customers, on all other Win 10 machines, taking a video screenshot works fine." I'll place my 2 cent bet on the video card. Look for a common thread like - the fails happening on Nvidia, ATI, or built-in graphics controllers. ~Roger On Jul 11, 2017 7:12 AM, "Paul Dupuis via use-livecode" < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > My guess is that it could be Digital Rights Management related? > > If you can screenshot a DRM protected video then, in principle, you > could screenshot every frame and encode the frames back into a DRM-free > version of the video.

Re: No screenshot from LC video possible
My guess is that it could be Digital Rights Management related? If you can screenshot a DRM protected video then, in principle, you could screenshot every frame and encode the frames back into a DRM-free version of the video. Do you know what the videos that had the problem were?
