Video screenshot capturing?

[Sirion]

Anyone know a way to get around the "video sceenshot protection" in XP? That thing is one hell of a bitch!

nice..thanks

The control-i thing doesn't work for me. Even after I updated my media player. Maybe because I have Window 98? Anyone got another method?

[Assertn]

does windows 98 support wmp 9?

another alternative is to go and turn off video acceleration somewhere in your player options
then you can printscreen and it wont gimp up

well, I got around it by downloading a program called fraps- its actually designed to capture small bits of movies, and bits of games - but it does screenshots too - and it automaticly saves them to a specified folder. If you open it, it will automaticly run on any videoyou have playing, any program, any format.

its a pretty cool little program.

how do you take a screenshot of your desktop and other stuff?

[Assertn]

printscreen
then paste it into photoshop or paint or whatever

also, alt+printscreen lets you capture just the window that you have active

when i press print screen nothing happens

what clipboard?

[Darkflare]

then the image is copied to your clipboard so you have to paste it into paint or something like that

This is a question that 1) has already been answered, and 2) has more than one thread dealing with this problem in the FanArt folder. Therefore, this folder shall be closed.
