-- Screenshot problem :(

Screenshot problem :(

This is doing my head in; basically, i'm trying to take a screenshot of a screen from a video playing in windows media player, and it refuses to do it

I take the shot, paste it into paint/irfanview and whatnot. I get the wmp gui, but a black space where the video was playing.

Any ideas/solutions would be greatly apreciated

i dont know why, but its simply not possible!

what you CAN do however is get a program like virtualdub, find the frame of where you want to take the screenshot, and... well, take the screenshot

good luck

oh man that pissed me off sooo much when i first tried to do it and it wouldn't work... it's really weird and no one knows why it doesn't work.

media player sux try other players
i know this problem ...

I knew it wasn't just me, i've been fiddling around for two hours trying to get it to work

mmilo: thankyou, that's exactly what I need

theres another way too:

disable overlays in wmps options.

Never used them myself but HyperSnap-DX and SnagIt should be helpfull programs.

I did download hypersnap, but acidentally deleted the video I wanted to take the shot from, then had to format the computer and reinstall the os the following week

I'll download it again gah
