iNeo 0 Posted November 8, 2002 I've often wanted to take a screenshot from a scene in a film, or music video. Just for fun. To save and send to others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

USMC Sniper 0 Posted November 9, 2002 I suppose you could use print screen while the video is playing, and use creative sound recorder while the video is playing too (i know u didnt ask, but i thought you still might want to know). For the print screen, after you press it, go to paint brush, or any other pic program, and paste. You will then get a picture of your desktop and everything happening on it, including the picture of the movie. Then crop it so you only have the screen of the video playing. You could also use a screen capture program. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Renagade 0 Posted November 9, 2002 nope, u need to unencrypt the dvd then play it and then take the screeenshot with the print key or some other screencapture program. Its funny how these dvds with a screenshot gallery dont let u capture those screeenshots though Look for some dvd rippers and something to view or conveert the output files so u can watch them.

Major Fubar 0 Posted November 9, 2002 It's a real pain in the ass that you have to rip DVDs to get a screen cap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kegetys 2 Posted November 9, 2002 If you have it playing on your screen you can take a screenshot of it. If they player uses video overlays (most propably does) then you need a program that can capture those, hypersnap can for example. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iNeo 0 Posted November 9, 2002 I've had GrabClipSave for a pretty long time, tested now if I could take a screenshot of a video, but it didn't work. Only black comes out. Gonna test HyperSnap... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
