Is there a way to take a screenshot from Win Med Player?

I recently shot a video and put it on my computer. Im wondering if, when I play it in Windows Media Player, i can take screenshots from that video.

If not, can whats the button for taking a screenshot of your entire screen?

Thanks for any help. :bow:

For the entire screen, the print screen to the right of the main keyboard and at the top, right to the right of F12.

Makes a copy which you then must paste.

You will post the pics you took Panzer!

Thanks for the help. ~:cheers:

They arent anything interesting Cap, just a problem ive had with my truck. I want to post them on a site where they try and help figure such problems out.

You can't just Print Screen a flowing video. It doesn't work. You have to find the feature in the player if it has one. WinDVD has taht feature as far as I know but it's only for DVD's on the computer. Donno maybe media player has it too, I haven't used it forver because it got corrupted somehow, I only use DivX now. Maybe that has it, it's more advanced.

When I installed my wonderful ATI 9800Pro card last year, it took over all my video files and played them on its propriatery video player. It was great. I could take a series of stills (which showed up as thumbnails under the video itself) from any video and import them anywhere. It was great. But then when I loaded up a new version of Quicktime or something and I lost my ATI video player and I don't know how to get it back as my default player.

Going to try again tonight. I love being able to capture stills from movies and music videos.

I can't think of any way to do that besides PrintScreen and cropping the image. Alt+PrintScreen will take the topmost window only but you'd still need to crop the image after.

Another you can do is open it in a movie editing software. All the frames will be shown and you can save whichever stills you want.

Thanks for the help.. ~:cheers:

I cant get it to work the way i want of course, but i appreciate the effort. ~D

If the ATI player is still installed, grab a video file, right click it, choose "open with", choose "choose program", select the ATI player adn make sure the allways use this program button is checked.

Try downloading fraps or grabclipsave. Just google them.

Homer squints, rubs head, "That's so crazy it just might work."

Thanks.

Another way is using BS Player, which is freeware IIRC, and hitting s while the video is playing.

Download this : link

I've had this for a long time, but I just realised that it has a Save Image feature. Try it, it's the coolest and simplest media player ever made.

Thanks BP, im downloading it now! :bow:

Ahh, i cant find the screensave feature..
