Ka pai to all involved. Good stuff!
Superb. Thanks for the excellent coverage as always Chris!
Thanks to everyone for watching this live event coverage. I'm outta here....but if there are any other interesting updates, please add them to this thread.
So what's that...190 days overall for McArthur and Tokarev? That's gotta be one of the longest ISS expeditions...?

The key when taking screencaps from streaming media is how you configure your media player.
For Windows Media player right click on the blue border at the top, select Tools then Options, and click the Performance tab. Under Video Acceleration click Advanced. In the Video Acceleration Settings window under Video Acceleration untick the Use overlays box, click OK then Apply in Options then OK again.
If you are using RealPlayer select Tools, Preferences, Hardware. Look for Video Card Compatibility and move the slider until you see Enable optimized video and disable overlays, then click OK.
They key on both is to disable overlays otherwise you will end up with a black screen when you do the Print Screen and paste the image into the image editor.

That's what I used yesterday, as it is the fastest way to grab a shot and also keep up the text updates. When we do the likes of Falcon 1, Ariane 5 etc. we have a few people doing text and a few doing the screen captures Dave mentions.
Adds to the experience and it was something I felt was lacking with the normal coverage you see, so brought it in for this site. Live's always best, so no need for an article on it hours later, it's all here.
Now I know! Thanks!
One of those little things that most computer books don't tell you.
