screen dump of vlc playing video is always black

[georgesdev]

I need to do screendumps of vlc playing videos for documentation purposes. I always get a black rectangle inside the vlc window. I would like to get both the vlc interface, and the video image inside.

I'm thinking this is because vlc uses some hardware acceleration of my pc. If that's the case, how do I disable it temporarily so I can do my screen dumps?

Same thing, when I do video projector presentations using vlc, I either get the video on my laptop lcd, or on the projector, but not both (I do get the GUI on both, but that is useless). I bet this is the same problem, although the screendump one is really more important to me.

Settings>Video>Overlay (deselect it if you want to disable hardware acceleration)

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks
