Mplayer is using the hardware video overlay feature of your video card, which bypasses the framebuffer. Try using mplayer with the "-vo x11" flag (or another video out driver, check "-vo help"). With the x11 driver, scaling has to be done in software, so that will be a lot slower, but you can make screenshots this way. Klaasjan
