Screenshot from videos

[MindTrix]

How do you do it? I got some dvd's and i want to take screenshots of parts of it to use on my pc. (no not a dirty dvd its a concert one). But if your playing the dvd in windows media player, and do screenshot, the dvd carrys on playing when you paste the screenshot in paint.

Hope that makes sense :p

I've read before about screenshots with AVI movie formats (and others)
I dont think there is a way to get round it without some program (Don't know what though)

I use the Programm "MAGIX Video deluxe" to edit movies and produce screenshots and whatever.
it was around 50$ iirc.

If you can run the video through virtual dub you can take screenshots of it.

For AVI, or any divx-encoded video, you can get around it in Windows Media Player by going to Options -> Performance -> and tweak the performance settings, such as moving the slider to middle. Also, if that doesn't do it, try going to the advance performance page, and tweak around.

Es posibile.

If you use PowerDVD or WinDVD they have an option to capture individual frames

I guess I'm lucky - I've never had any problems taking screenshots of videos. ;)

the quickest easiest way is just to full screen your app do control print screen with photoshop open control tab over to ps cs or whatever version and control n then control v.

Disable Overlay mode in windows media player and you can take a screenie of it.
