Movie Screenshot Tips:

Here's some tips for those who are making screenshots for your movie galleries (many people have asked for help on this & other boards):

For RealPlayer, you will need to turn off the optimized display. You can do this by running RealPlayer, clicking on View -> Preferences, going to the Performance tab, unchecking the box labeled "Use optimized video display", hitting OK, and restarting RealPlayer. Now you may make take a screenshot by pressing the [ALT + PRNTSCRN] combination. You can paste this screenshot into any graphics editing program (e.g. MS Paintbrush) and save the file. When you are done taking screenshots, you should re-enable the optimized video display because this makes videos play smoother and look better.

For Windows Media Player, you have to disable Hardware Acceleration. You can do this in Windows Media Player 6.4 by clicking on View -> Options and moving the Hardware Acceleration slider to None. You can do this in Windows Media Player 7 by clicking on Tools -> Options, going to the Performance tab, moving the Hardware Acceleration slider to None, and restarting Windows Media Player. Now you may make take a screenshot by pressing the [ALT + PRNTSCRN] combination. You can paste this screenshot into any graphics editing program (e.g. MS Paintbrush) and save the file. When you are done taking screenshots, you should move the Hardware Acceleration slider back to Full because this makes videos play smoother and look better.

I don't really know if this is good or not but thi sis the only thing I have ever used.

It can automaticly create thumbnails from almost any movie and save them, can also select which frame and all that.

I think its actualy for managing movies and mp3s and shit like that on your own comp but it does the job well.

I too am still looking for that magic software that automatically clips and thumbnails videos. When that happens I will be the first one to find a crack version.
