how can i take a screenshot of a movie?


Recommended Posts

One thing you can do is get a freeware or shareware screen capture program. These are pretty easy to find either by searching google or Tucows. Just install the software and follow its instructions.

Go to video/display options are then turn off hardware acceleration. You can now take screenshots of movies. remember to turn it bakc on afterward though :p

This works in any situation. Simplest method.

Ummmmmmm.. why must turn off hardware acceleration ?

any EXPLANATION

i think this is only about hardware thing why its intercept prtscr ?

The explanation is if you have harware acceleration enabled, all rendering of the movie is done on your gfx card. When you do a screen capture, it gets what is in the screen buffer before it is sent to the gfx card, so that data isnt there yet. If you turn acceleration off, the movie is forced to be rendered by software and is so in the screen buffer before it is sent to the gfx card and hence can be captured
