hi, you can actually do a screen capture from windows media player using Hypersnap-DX.
Make sure the following setting is set when you want to do the screen shot.
under "Capture"---> "enabled special capture" --> make sure to tick all boxes.
then use "scroll lock" to capture the screenshot
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

Capture Professional screen capture software can capture images from many media player applications. The fundamental issue is that most of these applications use DirectX overlays, which only render when the windows display has black pixlels beneath the overlay. This is why the print screen key and many other screen capture applications capture black areas instead of the intended video. Capture Professional queries each application for its overlays and extracts them. You will want to use the DirectX screen capture operation (default hotkey - CTRL + SHIFT + X) to capture these overlays. A 30 day trial is available.
Capture Professional can also be capture video from a playing video using the Include DirectX Surfaces... option and any other screen capture operation. Using this option while capturing video may result in a large number of dropped frames due to the amount of time required to capture each individual video frame.
You may also get some results by disabling all video acceleration which may eliminate the overlay usage. However, playback may be bad and this option may not work/be available for all media player applications.
There may be legal issues using captured copyrighted materials.

Hi new to the forum...back to the topic.
option1::When capturing image from DVD's I use PowerDVD. I have one problem though I can't seem to find the clipboard (or wherever it stores the images once you start clicking). What I do is I paste each image to MSpaint.. Troublesome..Anyway, someone point the way please...
option2::I vote for Image Grab. It's very easy to use. Go to the website to learn more about it. The intsructions are newbie friendly. Oh the program is available on Tools section, click here >>ImageGrab(>_<)
option3::I read in here that you can use Windows Movie Maker. Never tried it though. Check it out.

I think PowerDVD captures to the clipboard? Capture, open Paint or other gfx edotor, and Paste.

Thanks.

The resolution and aspect do not match, for example 720x480 is a valid resolution for 16:9 and 4:3. I don't use Virtualdub that much but it's probably giving you image sizes that are the same as the resolution. Use a batch image resizing tool like irfanview to resize them.
-
They should look OK if you use the resize filter (Lanczos3) in VDub to the correct AR (4:3 or 16:9)

Hi There..
In a previous post on this thread, Johns0 says:
"If you want to capture a pic with windows media player then go to control panel/display/settings/advanced/troubleshooting and turn down hardware acceleration to none and then press Prt Scrn on your keyboard and paste from paint"
Why do I have to set the HW acceleration to none? how does the HW acceleration effect a screen capture on windows media player?
thanks
-
Hardware accelerated video is diplayed using overlay, which can't be captured using Print Screen.

I'm having a bit of trouble learning how to save a single particular frame into an image. I have tried VirtualDub and it works great for saving the entire video into screenshots, but there doesn't seem to be a feature to save a single frame. The easiest way I have achieved this is to manually delete every last frame that isn't the one I want. There has to be an easier way!
I tried other suggested programs like Media Player Classic and it works great for saving particular frames, but there doesn't seem to be any ability to look through a video frame by frame like you can in VirtualDub. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks!

For some reason or another it doesn't seem to decode these new MKV files that well. Anything else that might be better than VirtualDubMod for that? I tried that AviDemux, but I couldn't get it to do what I wanted. It says that the file is H264 and that it won't be able to render all the frames accurately. Why not? It also asks to build some kind of index. I never thought it could be this difficult!

One of my most popular websites is a gallery of screen captures. I've just begun buying Blu-ray discs and have an LG combo drive, and I need to find a way to get screen captures from Blu-ray discs. The basic question is how can it be done?
I assume I will probably have to rip the disc and get into the files themselves to get a full-res full-size capture, so it won't be as easy as pressing a key.
I'm also willing to settle for lower resolution captures, just as long as I get something.
I've run across news stories (circa July 2006) about an OEM version of WinDVD that was able to get screen caps of high def discs, until they released a patched version that no longer allowed it, but I've been unable to find out which version, let alone find a copy.
Any ideas or leads would be greatly appreciated.Steven Hill at http://shillpages.com

With Vista, a 'quick and dirty' way to 'capture' a photo playing on your computer monitor is to pause the video and use Vista's 'Snipping Tool' to frame the portion you want as your still. Snipping Tool allows you to Copy the snip, or Save it as either JPG, GIF, or PNG. Really handy.
