By golly... I have it working perfectly now in a custom skin with a mapped key on my remote. Simply pause and then advance frame by frame with the key. Pressing Windows + PrtScn once saves the screenshot now. I have a much better understanding how this works finally.

I appreciate your input too. Fwiw, the playback controls, the pause icon and the clearlogo are present in the screenshots because the video is paused. It's just how the skin is designed to display in that environment. After pressing one frame advance, all that disappears and leaves just the picture for a clean screenshot. At 10MB more or less, I think I'm getting an unaltered .png. 32 bit depth at 3840 x 2160.
The entire reason I wanted to get this going is so I can display an HDR screenshot on the web for folks that don't have HDR displays and for those that do without converting the thing to SDR so it accommodates everyone. That would require me to manually tone map my HDR video to SDR and I'm not in to all of that hassle tbh. I've just checked on my ancient SDR only laptop and the pics posted here look much better than the washed out ones I've posted in the past. Here's what I'm talking about https://www.avsforum.com/threads/madvr-p...t-60511664
I will keep Avidimux in mind. It looks like a powerful diverse tool. Thank you for sharing and providing some insight about it.
