Screen Capture on Windows

Hi
I need to capture some on screen video for a project i am working on. Unfortunately the site I am capturing- CMT.com's broadband LOADED runs Windows' DRM and does not work on a Mac. I have tried using SnagIt but it can only captture at 15fps and is an awkard application compared to SnapzPro. Can anyone recommend a way that i can do the screen capture on Windows?

How do I get a screen capture in Windows on MacBook?

I'm a new guy to Mac/Mountain Lion, but not to computers, so this question may be a bit dicey.
I have used Gadwin PrintScreen for years on Microsoft Machines. During Setup, I am allowed to use Ctrl+Printscreen but now I am using, only occasionally, Windows 7 x64 on a partition on my MacBook Pro/Retina. Considering that there is no Printscreen key on the keyboard, I can no longer use the configuration I am accustomed to in the Windows environment on my lovely, shiny Mac. Only combinations ofCtrl/Alt and F keys are allowed. I get "Can't use that key. Already assigned to, etc."
So then, my query is this, on the Windows side, what keyboard combo will allow me to get a full screen capture? I've tried everything and combed the Apple community to no avail. If there is no keyboard combination, what app can I use that will allow me to do so in a Windows environment on a MacBook Pro/Retina. Just a month old.
I know how to execute this on the Mountain Lion side, but that key combination doesn't cut it on the Windows side.
In closing, I hope the solution is an app download to allow me to choose a configuration.
Thanks for reading,
Kelly J.

Can't screen capture popup windows in Flex web-based application

Hi all,
I'm a tech writer looking for a tool that will capture single popup windows of a flex-based web application (perl popups have the same issue).
Snagit (and all the freeware I've tried), doesn't recognize the popup window as a selectable element, even though the mouse can move the popup window anywhere in the application window.
We've got lots of snapshots to take, and do not want to have to crop a region and edit out the white space (top of the popup box has square corners, bottoms are rounded).
Does anyone know of a screen capture utility or way to get these windows in a single click like we can with the standard old window dialog boxes?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
joan

Hi Alex,
I don't quite understand.
Are you suggesting a way to get the snapshots from the server generating the image and not as an end user who opens the application and trys snapping from the Internet Explorer browser window?
I'll need to be more specific when communicating with the developer. Can you provide a little more direction?
Thank you!
:-) joan

Screen Captures for Windows 7.5/7.8 Phones

I see that Windows 8.0 phones have the ability to capture a screen print to a file (Start + Power). Will this be present in WP 7.8? If not, can Nokia develop an app for it? I did see on the XDA-Developers web site that such an App was developed, but it has never been certified by Microsoft for the Windows store.

"Screenshots on WP7.x are only available on developer inlocked devices. It is not part of the normal featureset"
This is probably correct, but is there any reason that it cannot be made available for the normal featureset? It would certainly come in handy when reporting bugs, or asking questions..Etc.

Screen Capture won't capture window

Hello, I'm using Snow Leopard on a Mac Mini with a single monitor. When using the screen capture keyboard commands, I can do everything except for capturing a window. I'm supposed to be able to hit command+shift+4, and then spacebar, and the pointer will change into a camera that will capture only the window I click with it. I recall being able to do this a long time ago, before I upgraded to Snow Leopard. I also use a widget called Screenshot Plus that acts as a front-end to those keyboard functions.
When I try these days, the cursor changes into a camera, but the entire screen is highlighted as if it will be selected. When I click, what gets captured is a blank white area the full size of my screen. The Screenshot Pro widget produces the same incorrect result.
I've seen another discussion about this topic, but it seemed to center on the Grab utility. On my system, Grab works correctly, including the window capture function. So I have a way to get the results I want, but I would be interested in a solution that allows me to use the keyboard method again. Thank you.

Noondaywitch, I created a test account and screen capture of windows worked correctly in it. Thank you!
So now I need to look for something about my account. I'm going to try disabling all startup items and see what happens.
UPDATE: Disabling all startup items and rebooting fixed the problem. The window capture function now works in my user account. Now I can put startup items back one by one to see which one might have caused the issue.
Thanks to all who gave advice.

Expression Encoder Won't Screen Capture Sims 4

The program works, because my recording shows everything happening on my screen until I hit the icon to start Sims 4. After that point, I just have a large, blank, white window, with a white cursor moving around through the blankness. What's
going on? Why won't it record what I am doing in Sims 4?

Does creative cloud include any software for HD video screen capture?

Does creative cloud include any software for HD video screen capture? I know that Captivate is not offered but are there other software applications available that do the same job? I am not wanting to make tutorials but I am a filmmaker wanting to integrate sequences with screen capture (which I will edit on Premiere)

Thanks Brian,
Spent some time yesterday doing research on this. There are good reviews and bad reviews for just about every screen capture application out there it seems.
The top-ten reviews gave their gold medal to CamVerce, which I'll probably buy today.
http://video-capture-software-review.toptenreviews.com/
Yesterday I bought the Sonne Screen video which is rated 5th on the top-ten site. (I figured as I'm going to be editing on premiere I shoudn't need to pay for extra editing packages and as I'm not using it to create tutorials I really just want a good quality screen capture for Windows 8). However, I'm not really happy with the image quality on playback and I'm finding the technical assistance really poor from Sonne. I still haven't received an email confirmation from them.
The others that I thought sounded right for me were WM Capture (though the top-ten review had a few negative things to say about it).
Tried a couple of the free ones also. EZvid is very popular.
Will see how I go and let you know. I'm sure this is very subjective and I'm probably not being as clear as I need to be about purpose of use.

How do I screen capture an internet page to copy to a file?

I am recently trying to adjust to a Mac system from PC. Simple Question... How can I screen capture an internet page to copy it to a file?

To screen-capture a window so you can paste the captured impage, press Shift-Control-Command-4, and when your cursor appears as a crosshair, press the Space Bar and it will turn into a small camera icon. With this, place the cursor over the window you would like to capture and then click. Now the image will be on your clipboard, so you can paste it wherever.
However, screenshots take the image of what you see on-screen. If you would like to capture the entire Web page content only, then your best bet would be to print it to a PDF file. To do this, press Command-P and in the print dialogue that opens, choose the option to save the PDF to a file from the PDF menu.

Problem recording sound during screen capture

Hi
I'm having a problem when recording screen captures in Windows XP SP3 in Boot Camp.
There is almost no sound. There is a very low sound level being picked up from the microphone.
The screen capture software I'm using is Capture Solution by SProsoft. I get the same result when using Windows Media Encoder, so I don't think it is a problem with the capturing program.
There is no problem with Windows XP making the sounds as I use it. It is just that I cannot record those sounds.
Thank you for any assistance you can give.

Hi ya I solved it..... I brought it back to the shop I got my phone in and they gave me a brand new one.
I had it for 11 months when I returned it and it was still covered by warranty hope this helps :)

How to capture a window in Safari that is bigger than the screen

Is there a pref to turn off border/shadow in window screen capture?

Somewhere along the line, Apple changed screen capture of a window (cmd-shift-4 and then spacebar) so that now you get a white border and drop shadow around the window in the screen capture file. This is very pretty, but for the purposes of posting captures on websites, for example, the original 'just the window' capture is really much more useful. Is there a *defaults write com.apple.screencapture* (or something) preference that can be changed to set the border/shadow to off?
- padmavyuha

Yes, annoying isn't it? I got mine changed using this command in Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.screencapture disable-shadow -bool true
You then need to log out and back in. This fix is courtesy of "atverd" at MacOSXHints. Bless him, and Rob Griffiths.

Don't try to do screen capture in Time Machine window...

Was going to show off Time Machine to my brother by taking screen capture.
Brought up Time Machine, pressed standard "Command-Shift-Number 4" key combo. Ouch... Time Machine screen became 'frozen in time'. Many key presses and 'strong words' later it woke up and came back.

Correct. I was in habit of using Command-Shift-4 + mouse drag for a region, or same key combo and then spacebar on a window for just a window for doing screen captures.
Command-Shift-3 worked fine with no lockup for whole window. People will still need to be careful not to attempt Command-Shift-4 and then spacebar or select area with the mouse as it appears to lock up the Mac and no key combos work.

Screen Capture of Classic Window

I wish to capture the contents of a Classic application's window. None of the OS X keyboard shortcuts seem to work with the Classic window. If I capture only the window (Command-Shift-4), the result is a blank file. If I capture the entire screen (Command-Shift-3), and so on, the result is the OS X screen minus the Classic window.
Is there any way to capture a picture of the Classic window in OS 10.4?

Hmmm, I only found one real reference to a Black Screen capture...
http://www.uselesscreations.com/mac/puddle/
Leopard (OS X 10.5) and some older versions will give the screensaver a black screen to capture when the screensaver password option is turned on. The screensaver now attempts to detect this and display your wallpaper image instead, so that you don't just get the black screen OS X is trying to display!
And though it's not what we're talking about. it leads ne yo ask a few questions...
Is this from an Admin account?
Do you have Multiple Users in OS9?
How many colors is OSX.s display set to?
How many colors is OS9.s display set to?
How much Video RAM on ones that work, and ones that don't?
Tried capturing in Classic with Extensions OFF?

FCP 10.1 DV capturing from camera breaking the scenes into unwanted clips by flashing a black screen on import window. But its fine and accurate with adobe premiere pro cc ? Any solution * Advance Thanks

FCP X will import into separate clips every time it detects a scene change (as when you stopped and started recording in the camera). There is no option to avoid this, as far as I known.
You may try importing from camera using Quicktime Player X and then bringing the imported file into FCP X.
