Re: [videoblogging] How to capture Windows Media Player video screenshot
Heh-- thanks, Michael. That works well! Off-topic tangent: Until January of this year, I worked for a semiconductor metrology company. We made machines that measure chips on the submicron level. I wrote the software manuals, and had to take screen shots. Unfortunately, whatever the camera showed would not appear in the screen shot, because the video camera went straight to the monitor instead of going through the computer. Our team eventually wrote a program to capture the camera image, but I'd have to take the camera image and copy/paste it into the interface screen shots when I went to press. Totally not related to this issue, but I think when I saw that happening in WMP, I assumed it was a similar problem of video-output and video-capture not being able to play nice together. --StephanieOn 4/19/06, Michael Verdi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Here's a step-by-step tutorial:http://freevlog.org/archive/02screencappc.mov -Verdi SPONSORED LINKS Fireant Individual Use YAHOO!

Re: [videoblogging] How to capture Windows Media Player video screenshot
Hello Harold,This reminds me of when I used to write OpenGL programs. If it's anything like that, then the problem is that Windows Media Player isn't putting it's "images" in same place -- the same area of memory -- that most Windows programs do. And, unfortunately, when you try to take a screenshot (using the "print screen" button or the GIMP), Windows won't get anything there.When I was writing those OpenGL programs, I actually had to make the program create it's own screenshots. (So, my guess is that since I don't think Windows Media Player will give you screenshots. That you won't be able to do it with it.) You probably need a media player that creates it's own screenshots. (BTW, if you're on Linux, I'm pretty sure you could do it with GStreamer using some easy shell commands... well, that's assuming you like using the shell.)

Re: [videoblogging] How to capture Windows Media Player video screenshot
yeah this is thanks to how windows media player works ... something about it displaying directly to the hardware ... I dunnoThe bottom line (I think) is that WMP isn't gonna cut it. The most reliable way I've found is to open the video in Windows Movie Maker and useing the lil button to take a screenshot of the movie.

Harold, Did you try Gimp's Capture->From Screen option (File menu)? --Stephanie On 4/19/06, Harold Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi everyone, > > I'm usually use the 'PrtSC' (or 'Print Screen') key to capture screenshots, > but for whatever reason, I've been unable to paste a proper screenshot of my > video (as its playing in Windows Media Player) into GIMP.
