Can this be done?

I'd like to capture as a video file the synthesized graphics background that displays during the playing of music clips within Windows Media Player.

Anyone out there know how this might be done?

Yes, with a screen capture program such as Camtasia.

Hey, thanks, Gary! That would appear to be what I'm looking for.

At the risk of causing myself embarrassment, and just in case there is anybody else out there that didn't know this, I realised only a few days ago that to get a full screen preview in Media Player you just need to double click on the playback window.

On my PC's (or should that be PCs) the response and the resolution seem better in this mode.

But I suppose everybody in the world knew that. :~)

You can also press ALT+Enter, or click View / Full Screen to maximize it.

Yes I knew about the ALT+Enter and the menus items but the double click seems faster and too me it looks sharper. Perhaps it's just my imagination, running away with me.

Hey, that would make a great song title, wouldn't it?
