Quicktime Gray Screen

When I do a screen recording in QuickTime, all I get is a solid gray screen.

Apparently, what I was recording must have data preventing copying. I tried screen recording in full screen and it recorded my whole desktop and only the video I wanted to record was solid gray. Strange, since the video stored on a CD was of my family's old Super 8 films. I'm sure my cousin wouldn't have done that deliberately.

If it was something that was played in the Apple DVD Player application,

then yes, anything played in that application is blocked for screen capturing.

Oh! Yes! I'm on a Mac and it was Apple DVD Player! So it wasn't something included in the data on the CD. Thank you! This is good to know!
