Blue color in SmartSaver Pro v3.0?

Hello,

Why is everytime I take screen captures from Windows Media Player Classic v6.4.9.0 (not from MS -- http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Med ... lassic.htm), Ulead SmartSaver Pro v3.0 shows it blue? The colors looked fine in Mozilla v1.7.13, Paint Shop Pro v8.10, etc.

I uploaded a zipped BMP file for you try if you want: http://www.filesunlimited.net/67a2da740 ... 6e98323449

Thank you in advance.

Now there is a good question indeed.

It did the same for me. I have no idea why, but this fix worked for me...

Open the bitmap in Windows Paint or IrfanView, and save a copy of it. Open the copy with SmartSaver. The colors should appear normal.

What happens if you take screen captures from another video player? Have you tried that yet?

I don't have any other players to handle .RM files with screen captures. However, I have seen it happened with MPEG2 (HDTV), TS (HDTV), etc.

Well, then you'll have to use my workaround. It worked for me, it should work for you.

I don't see any easier solution... At least until Ulead discovers the reason and updates their software.

Here is something interesting. Using print screen key and pasting in SmartSaver Pro didn't have the blue problem. I wonder if the BMP is corrupted from MPC?

Maybe. But it does view properly in other programs.
