so about those itune caps

Right. So logo free comes from iTunes. (Thanks to those who told me that)

Next question.

How the heck are people capping them?

I remembered that I had an ep of Psych downloaded from there and went to try and cap it before I downloaded anything else from there and uh, both VLC and KMPlayer don't work.

So what does?

Please help this idiot!

You mean people are buying episodes off iTunes and then taking screenshots?

What is the problem you're having? Do the screenshots turn out as just black? There's an option within VLC itself to take screenshots. I think you can right-click and there's a "snapshot" option (which may be buried within menus).

My problem is that I can't even get VLC or KMPlayer to play the ep.

Oh, it's because of DRM protection then. You can only play 'em in iTunes/QuickTime.

How do I get rid of that?

Googling uncovered this:

I haven't used that myself. I use an old computer as my DVR so there's no encryption on it. :)

Thanks for this link. It didn't work for the one I already had but perhaps in the future it'll work for another.
