a very nice find J-J
I saved the compact Flash Video File
YouTube - The Late Great Johnny Ac.flv
using youtube grabber then converted it to the MUCH more user friendly mpg format
Using SUPER
and as this screenshot confirms was then able to play it using Windows Media Player

and make a fine mug shot to boot

and the over zealous fan:-

details of those two fine bits of freeware are at:-
http://www.johnfowles.org.uk/Tutoria...s_tutorial.htm
and those two screenshots were simply made using another fine bit of freeware:-
Gadwin Printscreen
I have had to replace my usual screenhunter screenshot program which is playing dummo on this PC's main hard drive
Note such screenshots from a Windows Media Player playback are only possible after reducing WMP's video acceleration to "Nil"
an easy procedure:-
WMP menu bar
Tools>Options>Perormance
then use the slider to reduce the acceleration from full to nil
that avoids capturing a black screen and does not appear to affect video playing if left in nil ad infinitum
