A really useful piece of freeware is "Hardcopy" at http://www.hardcopy.de although I do have a licenced copy.
You can do many things with this - including capture small sections of the screen. Also supports a large number of graphics formats.
Many be of use - better than <clrl> Print Scrn

A normal screen shot (whether with the Print Screen button, or with many third-party utilities) will not capture the video image because tv tuners are displayed using what is called an 'overlay device' (loosely similar to the blue/green screen technique used for special effects in films). The tv image is buffered directly to the video memory, and not through the standard Windows graphics interface. For this reason, you can only capture the buffered image using the screen capture option built into your video viewing software (in your case, the ATI Multimedia Center).

That looks like a fascinating program and just might do something I have wanted to do for a very long time - make a catalogue of all my CDs. It's so hard to know what file is on which CD. If I can capture a screen shot and import it into Excel that would be so cool.
I'll let you know if it works

Thanks for the info. I didn't really expect the video part to show up here. It would be like posting an image from my computer. ASll I would be posting is a little box with an x in it. At least it posted the black screen. I was just really surprised I could see it.
I also thought saving the image as a gif file would give me a blank TV screen so it was cool to see the image in PaintShopPro actually running the video.
