screenshots from movies embedded in webpages
 

hows this possible? im setting up a thumb tgp and the screenshots in the movie galleries itself are wothless (too small) and the movies play in webpages.... i need a fast way of doing this since i got a shitload of these particular movie fhg's!
print screen soesnt work, it shows a black spot where the movie plays. Screen Shot Maker 2.3 - same story... :(

I use a program called 'snatch it', err or snag it; handles .wmvs

windows comes prepacked with windows movie maker, it takes screenshots

try this: http://www.shorewalker.com/blog/20040707.html :thumbsup

exactly what i meant but if i uncheck movie overlay there are ugly yellow and green transparant bars thru the video... aaaargh! :mad:

hypersnap etc does that but if they have acceleration on in the mp youll get weird results

This program is called "FrameShots" now.

right now im downlaoding snagit, lets see if that works properly....

holy shit i got it! by the way Snag it just does the same as print screen and Screen Shot Maker 2.3, but that also not where the problem was,

The key was in that link ProjectNaked posted:

"f you use normal screen-capture software to take a snapshot of a video in Windows Media Player, it come out blank. This used to drive me nuts. Here's the seven-step solution:

1. Open Windows Media Player
2. Go to Tools
3. Go to Options
4. Go to Performance
5. Click the "Advanced" button
6. Un-check the "Use Overlays" tick-box
7. Click OK"

This didnt help at first because it gave the videos green and yellow transparent bars thru it (could make screenshots but doesnt seem right with those bars thru it), but after u uncheck 'use overlays', u have to CHECK 'use high quality mode' right below it, and you can make a good quality screenshot with any program; i use Screen Shot Maker 2.3!
Thanks peeps :)

not using an overlay will force your card to update your desktop 75 times a second.
I would imagine playing large movies might lag.. maybe not.

If you turn off hardware acceleration on your computer, print screen will capture them :)
