How to capture a still img from mpeg?
 

How do I capture a jpg from an mpeg for my movie galleries?

Spider

xing player will do that and even export it
as a .bmp with the same file name as the video. http://www.xingtech.com/

The latest version of thumbsplus will do it too.

I use HyperSnap-DX 4

I downloaded from xingtech.com but didn't restart my pc yet. do you have any idea how long will the trial work?
I can't belive that some sponsors give free mpegs content without giving the thumbs...

Spider

Dunno about the trial but the program is like
9 bucks to purchase. If it works for ya then
why not ? The encoder does nice mp3's but
sucks for mpeg encoding.

vcdcutter from www.seller-club.com/~vcdcut/index.htm works pretty well, it's shareware and lets you take snapshots or cut up into smaller mpgs.


Tim

Yes indeed, if it's only 9 bucks that's cool.
Ill also check that seller club download.

Easiest way is to just press the "Print Scrn" button on your keyboard.

Load up any image editor and then Paste ;)

Also I think there's a pretty tight freeware movie editor "VirtualDub.exe" -- I don't have the URL on me.

yep, virtualdub is awsome. Works great, and has two screens for you so you can take 2 different screenshots of the same movie in one instance http://www.virtualdub.com/
You can actually take a screen shot of the video by pressing "print screen", BUT, alot of times, for some odd reason, that doeesnt work, so if you wnana save some time, just get a prohgram. i think VD is still free, but im not sure. I got it a while ago
