I hope someone answers Mr.Hughes and the others.I have the exact
problem.Video freeze-frames will not print. I get a black box where the
picture should be.My routine was print
screen-programs-accessories-paint-edit-paste-save as-desktop-file save as
jpeg-realscreenshot .This actually worked for awhile.When I started using
Windows Video Player my routine quite working, but I have not been able to
find a new one. Now ,its the black box every time. I'm suspicious its the
bit screen (i.e.realscreenshot, or whatever you use as the save)that's not
correct.
