  Nope, its because you are trying to take a screenshot of a video. Either use VLC player and take snapshot or use Quicktime.
  
  I heard from someone in this forum that you can also set the hardware acceleration setting to 0 and take screenshot.

  No I don't mean that. I think its sort of when you printscreen, the pc takes a picture of your current application appearance excluding the graphics card. Its your graphics card that is presenting the video.
