you cannot capture video while playing back an MPEG file.
Some types of video CDs cannot be viewed.
Video overlay, capture, and MPEG playback functions do not

Do not select virtual screen in the ThinkPad Features program.
Video overlay, capture, and MPEG playback functions are not
supported in virtual screen mode, such as 1024×768 on an LCD
or 800×600 on a television.
For Windows 3.11 only: When you load QuickTime
as the MCI driver, the MPEG video might not be played correctly.
To avoid this, open Control Panel in the Main window and click
on Drivers; then remove QuickTime for Windows from the driver
