NX7.5 Movie Captures Only Background

[KLineDesign]

I have a GTAC in for this, but I thought I'd try ENG-TIPS while I'm waiting to try other things (So far I uninstalled my Space Navigator and brought my graphics drivers up to the latest.). When saving videos (still NX 7.5) I only get the mouse movements, popup boxes, and the "Earth Background". In otherwords, I get everything except what I want.

Any Ideas?

If I guess, it's a graphics issue. Do you run a certified graphics ?
Try to see if you can find in the graphics adapter settings a "Hardware acceleration" option, try different settings on this and then create movies.
What video capture do you use ?
Techsmith.com has a nice freeware named Jing that you can try. ( it only saves videos in Shockwave Flash format which is a bit sad but else it's good.)
Techsmith.com also has Camtasia which is fabulous for video capture but it is not freeware.

A colleague had the same problem only yesterday. We found that changing the "Record Options->Capture Area" to "Desktop" then recorded the NX graphics OK.
Obviously you get all of the NX window and, if its not maximised, anything else thats visible on-screen. But that was OK for us and recording videos is rare for us so we didn't dig any further into the problem.

maybe a weird question, do you run multiple monitors ? Are the NX graphics on the primary screen ?

The colleague that originally had the problem uses an HP tower setup with 2 monitors and has NX on the primary.
When he had problems I opened his part to try. I use an HP laptop on a deskstation with a single monitor and had the same problems.
When this equipment was purchased the graphics cards/drivers were all certified for use with NX.

Thanks for the replies. It appears as if my Ticket is going down to the graphics certfications folks. I do have the latest certified drivers. I did just try switching my settings to capture the desktop, and indeed it did work. This is of course not the preferred option, so my problem still remains. I'll post back when a solution is found.

Thanks again, and have a good weekend,
