I have written a delphi application that presents a combination of charts, images and videos. I use TMediaPlayer to output the videos.

The chart data, images and videos can be synchronized for an integrated presentation.

The user community would like to use a third party package to capture the integrated output for their own internal purposes. One of the products mentioned is SnagIt.

The tool fails to capture the MediaPlayer1.DisplayRect information[it is black/blank]. I noticed this is also a problem with the Windows Shift-PrintScreen action. A little research shows other users have had a similar problem.

Does anyone know of a solution that fits my situation?

thanks in advance,
dmo

The problem is that the video is drawn in an overlay by the hardware.

I do not know if TMediaPlayer supports it, but the usual solution is to change the rendering, for example to software.
Test it first using Windows Media player.
