Re: [videoblogging] Re: How to capture Windows Media Player video screenshot

Wed, 19 Apr 2006 10:53:08 -0700

The porblem, mgmoon, is that with windows/windows media player (at least on many if not most) systems is that once you take the screen capture you cant really use it.  The captured cannot be placed in a window which is at a different pixel location from the origional.  The pasted image never moves from the pixel location it was in when you hit the printscreen button ... even if your editor window is elsewhere.

You can paste it into an editor like photoshop or gimp, but you dont see the image.  you can drag the editor window around the screen and see parts of the origional image apear in certain locations.

Makes it really difficult at best to use.

Acouple of tidbits that may help...
Firstly, pause your video before taking the screen shot. If you try
and screen shot when the video is going, you can get some weird stuff.
Secondly, if you hold down the ALT key, and then hit the Print Screen
button, it'll only capture that program, or in this cae Window Media
player window, no need to crop out your desktop.

Hope it helps...
