[Techtalk] Screenshots and Movie Player

[priya venkateshan]

Hi, all
Sometimes when i watch videos, i pause it and take a screenshot of a cool
camera angle, or a close-up of a star's face or suchlike things. While this
works fine on Windows, it doesn't work when i try the same with Movie Player
which comes along with Ubuntu Feisty Fawn. I get a shot of the entire screen
where everything is fine except that the area playing the video is blank.
while this doesn't inconvenience me greatly, im curious to know why this
happens only on linux and not on windows, and if there is a possible way to
remedy it.
any ideas?
