	* You can screencap videos from NBC. The quality isn't great, but sometimes it's the only source. In general, you can just use a screenprint (Alt + PrintScreen on a PC) or your image editing software's screen capture utility if it has one. If you have trouble getting the video to capture (i.e. it comes out solid black), it's probably using a hardware acceleration layer separate from the desktop layer (I'm not aware of any browser or webcast protocols that use hardware acceleration, though) and disabling acceleration should fix it.--[[User:Hardvice\|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice\|(talk)]]</small> 23:22, 18 April 2007 (EDT)		* You can screencap videos from NBC.
