WMP is iffy for screenshots
i reccomend zoomplayer for watching movies and etc.
simpilar to take screenshots with just the ALT + F [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
Alt + F doesnt work on WMP... oO
yeh, i know, just in zoomplayer, for WMP try this
Printscreen is the only way i know to get a SS in WMP
what i ment with the alt + F is for zoomplayer, which is less clunky then WMP
no it doesnt work.. maybe on some old one.. but not on the new XP one
PowerDVD seems to work OK for screenshots - just open the .avi as a media file and then 'C' to capture the screenshot you want
And yep - MS Media Player on XP doesn't let you grab screenshots, I tried for a while too with no success
windows movie maker is another way... but not the best.
Ctrl + I
that should do the trick in WMP, that's how i got my avatar (100 stories rock!).
hmm, i reccomend going over to zoomplayer tough
its less bulky then WMP, and you'll generally have a less frustrating time
On the recommended player front - well I tend to use Media Player, but on any file that fails that I always reach for VLC (Video Lan Client) which is available here: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
It's never failed to play any format that I've thrown at it
Neither WMP or Real Player have ever worked for me in terms of screenshots...which is a shame because at the moment I have to download desktop wallpapers if I want a good DVD background menu (without getting photoshop and doing all that kind of stuff...photoshop is the work of the devil [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]) etc...hmm...I haven't thought about trying DivX Player...
*goes and tries it*
nope...that didn't work either, I'll look about for this ZoomPlayer thing and try that...
Wow, never knew about that...thats pretty cool, though in my case the resulting picture isn't quite big enough, better than nothing though [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]Quote:
