Some thing with 3D computer games. Because the data doesn't exist in the 
framebuffer but is composited in in hardware, copying the framebuffer to 
a file won't capture that data.

Depending on the specifics, there *are* ways to do this though. Just the 
standard screen capture won't do it, that's all.
