Yes, I'm quite familiar with the Snappy and I own several,
having once been well-connected with NewTek and Play.
Of course, if pixel-perfect accuracy isn't required, a digital
camera might do the trick, except for random sync bars.
I would think someone must've made a device like this for
the documentation industry. There are moments when software-based
screen capture tricks don't cut it.
I have a few video printers that accept composite and print
on thermal paper.
