Capturing GPL images from Voodoo2

I can't seem to capture images from my Voodoo2 graphics card. I just get
black images. I want to analyse my GPL laps by capturing splits and
seeing where I am slow compared to the fast drivers. Also is it possible
to capture avi or mpeg format from Voodoo2?
Thanks in advance,
Paul

For screen shots, simply press the "Print Screen" button. This will place a
file in your GPL folder named gplss01.pbf, if you want more than 1 then they
will be named gplss02 and so on. These can then be converted to a .tga file
by dragging them onto the program pbf2tga, which is also in the GPL folder.
This will then create a file called gplss01.tga, which can be opened using
Paintshop pro or similar graphics program.
I can't help with the AVI or Mpeg's but if you have at least 64 MB of RAM
you should be able to save at least a few laps in a replay file and view
them from GPL using any camera view and at any speed.

Hope this helps
