In controller mode just take a screenshot from your computer and you should get a screenshot from the Live and from your normal computer monitor appear on your desktop. That's how it works on a Mac at least.

Ah that nice (PC & standalone though) - have you tried doing any kind of video capture?

Following up on this, after plugging in the MPC Live I see it no longer appears as an additional computer display like the MPC Touch did, so I don't think it's possible to take screenshots in the same way, if at all - I don't think I've seen any other videos or articles that have actual screenshots or video direct from the Live, even official Akai videos. It might require Akai to provide a method through the software itself like they did with the Ren/Studio.
