    anyone know how to take a screenshot of a paused video in WMP? Ctrl+Printscreen pasting in in paint is now showing the video in paint? WTF? so if i save a SS in paint from a clip and then close the video the SS turnes black. :HEADDESK:

     

    or is their a good program that take SS?

     

     

    I tryed screenprint32 v3.5 and does jpeg to desktop, but its also blank..

     

    PS: also tryed in WMP 10 11 and 9 as well as quicktime and real

    I think somehow wmp writes directly to the video card or integrated chip, and thus anything that doesn’t intercept your screen at the end of the video output process won’t catch it… if you find something that can intercept your video card’s final compilations you’d be golden, otherwise do like everyone else and break out the digital camera.

    OR

     

    ripped from a post at http://www.techspot.com/vb/topic33807.html

     

    Go to http://www.fraps.com and use FRAPS. With Fraps running, just hit F10 to have screenshots captured to the C:\Fraps folder.

     

    Windows Media Player, WinDVD and other such programs use “Overlay” video, which isn’t a normal part of the windows display. In order to capture the “Overlay” video, you need a special capture tool- which FRAPS indeed does.

     

    Turning off hardware acceleration will also work since this disables the Overlay and uses standard windows GUI/2D display routines. This also slows the video down to a crawl and wont allow any of the deinterlacing or image enhancement features your videocard normally has in its Overlay mode.

    humm i acutally have fraps for 1.6 demos…

    and yes the overly fixed the problem, but ths image becomes nice and blured so still just as worthless… gonna give fraps another shot.
