[MPlayer-users] taking a screenshot of a video while playing it

[Sycotic Smith]

I'm going out on a limb here since you didn't give us any real useable info, but I bet you're using the Xv output, which would have this effect.  Try using the -vo x11 or sdl and see how it works.  I may be wrong on sdl, it might not work either, but I'm pretty sure this is the reason.
