When I try to capture a single frame of video using the Freeze button in Apple Video Player, the resulting picture has a gray tint to it. Why is this?
DISCUSSION Apple has discovered an issue which causes this behavior on certain Power Macintosh models running Mac OS 8.0 or later. As of this writing, 5500, 6500, Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh, and G3-equipped models are thought to be affected. Also, system software releases earlier than Mac OS 8.0 are less likely to exhibit this symptom. The gray tint is due to the fact that the video subsystem is optimized to get the best color when watching live video, but this optimization doesn't work with captured video. When the video is captured to a frame and displayed on a computer monitor the optimization can result in a gray tint over the video. |
