This is the only reason...

anyways, I once wrote a detailed post about it on the forums, I'll search for it...
EDIT:
Not so detailed as I thought it was. Nevertheless, it explains why there is that balck hole. -dt- also explained it in short in this thread already though...
In short: the printscreen function of Windows only grabs what's in the standard graphical windows memory. Video and other stuff can be shown directly in special video memory (not accessed by PrintScreen) with DirectX, this is called Video Overlaying. Windows only creates a "transparent" region on the window which will contain this special overlay channel, hence the "black hole"... To take screenshots of video or whatever shown in this special memory region, you need specialized software (see threads).
