You can not  capture on WMP 11
Do to Copyrights for  videos is why Microsoft that way!
All you will capture is a Negative Screen....

?  That's weird.

it is a "player" not a "capturer".  It also does not friscasee nor will it
drive your car for you.  You want a different tool for those tasks.

WMP is just a Player, not a capturing tool.  You would need a capturing tool
to capture streaming video.  You might want to just ask the content provider
for access.  =)

That's what I am asking for..... Is there any way of capturing streaming
video when viewing it with WMP 11.
I am not sking how to do it with WMP alone but is there any program that I
can use like there is for YouTube???

wmrecorder captures most streams.  Screen capture programs like Snagit will
catch the rest of them though you have to play with the settings of WMP or
use Nero or Winamp as a player.

NO not any program can capturer in WMP.

But they can capturer all player, but WMP for Microsoft make it that way!

The show I want to record is only playable on WMP with Octoshape.

I found one that does a screen capture, but then I am unable to use my
computer while it is recording from WMP because it records whatever is
currently viewable on the desktop.

Snagit lets you pick a screen area to capture.  They have a free trial to
see if it works for you.  There is a free program called HeldUp that controls
screen focus so you can keep the video on top in the corner while you are
using your computer.  www.johnmacintyre.ca
There website appears to be down right now but you can get it off cnet.

Now You Have Time to see that you can not Screen capture WMP

For Video  playable  only on WMP
so you cannot record a copy of a pay videos ....we like it that way....
we have rights you know
WMP for as to keep are work pay for ...not for you  to copy and give always
freely!
