Known Issues and limitations


When the "Take screenshots of video windows" option is enabled and you have a multi monitor configuration (meaning that you use your computer with 2 or more monitors/displays at the same time), you may experience some issues. Now, I haven't tested this feature since around 2004, because I don't have a multi monitor setup I can test on (sadly). Maybe the issues were caused by old drivers, maybe old hardware. If you experience issues just disable this option or enable it only when necessary. Read on.

When using "Clone Mode", the secondary display may flicker for a second when screendump starts. This has been known to vary depending on the video card you're using (on some cards the screen may go black/dark blue). Most of the times, this can be fixed by readjusting the display resolution, or running a video. This ONLY happens when you have the "Take screenshots of video windows" option set.

When "Expanding" your desktop across multiple displays, the program is only able to take screenshots of videos within the primary display. If you try to take a screenshot of a video that's on another display, you will get an empty black box where the video is supposed to be (the same behavior as when having the option set to off).

As I don't have the ability to test a multiple display set up at the moment, please report your experiences by email or through our bugtracker. Hopefully we'll iron this out. And just in case it wasn't clear the first time, these issues ONLY apply when you have the "Take screenshots of video windows" option set.
