One of my photos will be up on the Kodak POTD next Friday the 21st (yay!), and being out in LA flying out just to see it is a bit of a stretch. But I found a webcam in Times Square that changes pre-set angles every few seconds and the Kodak billboard is visible in one of them. For anybody else with a POTD, here's a link: Earthcam and then click on "Cam1" and keep watching until it gets to the billboard. It's not the best, but better than nothing.

Anyways, I tried to do a screen capture, and it doesn't work. It captures everything on the desktop and browser ok, but where the video is it puts a live feed in there instead of a still picture of when you captured it... try it, it's wierd. So I was thinking if I could record the video and then do a screen shot while playing it in Media Player that might work. I've tried a couple softwares already like Replay AV and another one, but it just records the quick Earthcam logo movie at the beginning and stops, not the actual webcam feed. Is there a better way to do this? Thanks for any help.

BTW, this is the photo:

Fraps is a program that you can catch the video on

otherwise, pm Pawdrix, he passes by that sign on the way to work and usually if asked politely will photograph it and send you the pics of it.
