how to take screenshot of movie in media player. - GoFuckYourself.com

Luc · 06-13-2005, 10:19 AM

is there an easy way to do this, the regular screenshot buttons (prt scn and alt+prnt scn) don't work, they do not capture the video, just a big black thing in its place.

i don't really want to download anything special and i can't load the .wmv files into quicktime.

thanks

thanks, but im having the same problem with bsplay. when i screen capture it displays a black screen. what do you mean disable video acceleration, you talking about the video card setting for that?

If you can play it in RealPlayer then Screenprint will work.

CaptureWiz also make a product and has a 30 free trial.

Right click on your desktop > Properties > Settings Tab > Advanced > Troubleshoot Tab.

When you get there, turn off hardware acceleration and your screenshots will come up fine.

Go to program> accesories > entertainment > windows movie maker..

Load the movie into windows movie maker then go to tools and it has a screenshot button..

In Media Player, go to
Tools > Options > Performance

and then slide the bar for "Video Acceleration" down to "None" and then you can take screen caps of your video in media player.
