I am trying to capture my Pandora Gadget, and the only way I could do so is with Monitor Capture, Sub-Region. Is there any better way, or a plugin that can capture it? Window & Game Capture do not see it as a valid option.

Sounds like it's probably not possible to do any other way, especially if window capture doesn't work.

Hmm .. Any reason why it's a valid window capture? I have not tried other Gadgets .. maybe it's just that one, or all.

edit: I wonder if it's because the Gadget is Flash based .. not sure if it's using 32bit or 64bit Flash.

edit2: According to Task Manager, it is running 64bit Sidebar.exe

Well I kinda got it .. the Pandora Gadget is just a HTML file that pulls info from their site. I opened the file in a Firefox popup window, changed the window size to fit the gadget, set OBS Window Capture w/sub-region.
