hurting101 Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 Also agree. But if you want the cursor, i'd use IrfanView. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOOPAH256 Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 I was trying to capture some screenshots too, earlier. But I was trying to get video that I was playing. When I used the "printscreen" option...the video doesn't appear. It shows up as black, or video that I am 'currently' playing on my computer (hard to explain, but i'm sure most of you know what i'm talking about). Do you know how I can resolve this problem? ~Joseph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Generation X Posted March 3, 2002 Share Posted March 3, 2002 happens with some video codecs i think and/or specific video cards...doesn't happen to me and i got a gforce 2 mx 440 with/ tv out...anyways prt scr isn't a program it's a key on your keyboard...then you use whatever image program you like best and paste the screenshot in there then save it...i don't know why there are desktop screen making progz...

neowin_hipster Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 Print Screen works best but so does these apps below they say. http://www.techsmith.com/products/snagit/default.asp http://www.hyperionics.com/index.asp You can't capture movies and stuff because they use directshow. Directshow is fast because it allows app to write directly to the display memory. Print Screen I think works differently. These two apps can capture everything that is being displayed.

DjmUK Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 I've used all the free programs out there, and nothing beats "Print Screen", I use this then open up PSP 7, and just press "Paste", and edit from there. I find it the most efficient and easiest to use in my opinion :rambo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeaR Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 Hypersnap DX has gotta be the best capturing proggy. Not free but ya could get it for free if ya search :) Maybe an old waresion oops version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshie Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 I'm told PrintScreen can pick up videos that normally appear as black if you go into the settings and turn Hardware Acceleration to zero/minimum. Haven't tried it, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
