Recording Video from Media Player
-
I tried My Screen Recorder to record a playing video from Media Player. The entire video turned out completely black.

Windows Media Player uses hardware acceleration to improve video viewing performance on Windows 2000 and XP. This acceleration technology completely disables screen recording. The newer operating system versions automatically adjust the hardware acceleration.
To record videos from media players, turn off hardware acceleration. My Screen Recorder can disable Hardware Acceleration while recording is in progress automatically. After the recording is stopped the hardware acceleration is restored to its previous value.
To disable hardware acceleration:
- On the Tools menu click settings.
- Select the General Tab.
- Check the "Disable Hardware Acceleration during recording" option.
In some cases you may also need to turn off video acceleration in Windows Media Player:
- In Windows Media Player, on the Tools menu, click on Options.
- Select the Performance tab.
- Move the Video Acceleration Slider to None.

Thanks for this method. It really helped me. Everything is working great.
