I was wanting to screenshot a few pictures from a DVD that i have been watching on my computer, so i pressed the screenshot button and then paste the picture into Paint, but that doesn't work as when I turn the DVD player off and view the picture that I had screenshot, it just turned up as a black picture, and i was wondering how i could take a screenshot of it without it doing this?

Because when i paste the screenshot, the image stays in the same place and i cant move it.

Shouldn't one be able to take a picture of a frame in the program itself? I use InterVideo's WinDVD and it has this feature.

The answer is fairly simple, found it out ages ago lol :p

I take it you are using WMP?

If so, just go to Tools > Options > Perfomance, and then set Video Acceleration to None.

Then you should be able to print screen the video. :)

Is there anything wrong with just using CTRL+Printscreen to take a snap shot. Then, paste it into your paint prog, crop the outside of the image leaving you with just the DVD picture?

:) I did wonder how everybody could be missing such an obvious solution...

The print screen will capture a black screen sometimes.

hey Bournes*Babe

firstly if you have not found out how yet, do the following


download windows media player classic if you do not already have it here

http://www.free-codecs.com/Media_Player_Classic_download.htm

Then open your dvd with it.

then when you are at the point you want to take an image
click

file> save image.

thats it, and it only has the pic of the video you do not need to do anything to it its already cropped..

enjoy!
