    The official "help me" thread

    Does anyone know of a relatively painless way to take screenshots of avi files. I'm currently tying to use Media Player Classic, and I get an error {GetCurrentImage failed, hr = 8000ffff}. If there's another program that's fine but I'd like to be able to use MPC if anyonee knows how to make it work. Thanx

    In Media Player Classic you need to go the Options, Playback, Output and change the DirectShow Video rendering mode. This is probably the reason why you can't save screenshots. Well, there could be other reasons, but this is the most likely one. Change it to VMR7 (windowed), for example (that's the one I'm using, you could try others as well, but this works nicely).

    Thanks, I got screenshots to work, but now I'm having issues with timing, I pause what i'm watching and try to take a shot, but the thing jumps forward to a different time. Its not the same amount of time each time, but the same relative places if I pause at the same spot multiple times. This has only happened with an ogm file so far, I'm getting fine results from avi's and I haven't tried any mkv's yet. Any advice?

    Unfortunately I have sometimes noticed the same thing. Although I didn't notice the shift was different from time to time, nor that it depended on the format. It's likely I haven't been taking screenshots from those formats enough to have noticed it. Hmm... Having said that, I have little advice to offer. The times I experienced it, the effect seemed consistent enough to predict, and I was able to take the screenshots by pausing at a slightly different location so that when it shifted, it was at the right location.

    Sorry, but I can't really help any further than that. I have no idea why the shift happens. Maybe it's due to the compression method (xvid) or DirectX. Somebody who knows the theory better might be able to give an explanation if not a solution.

    The one that somes w/ your computer? Nero is the best out there. I don't know of any others that are good and free.

    Thanks a lot Phoenix. I have Nero right now but does NeroVision come with that or do I have to download it separately?

    Edit NVM I figured it out.

    I have a problem with my Firefox. Since yesterday, a lot of pages would result in an instant "Server not found" screen, which I'm sure most of you have seen before. The thing is, there really is no problem with those websites because if I click the "Try Again" button, the pages loads fine. This happens a lot to Google and Google searches. I don't think I have a worm infection or something because I scanned with NOD32 (system restore=off) and there were no problems. I scanned with Ad-Aware and no problems. This is a very annoying problem because those websites just give an instant 404 error yet they work fine if I click "Try Again". Anyone have suggestions?

    That has happened to me recently as well, although it doesn't seem to be as bad as your case.

    Oh btw, it also applies to my Internet Explorer, not just Firefox. I have never heard of a problem like mine before, or anything remotely close to it.

    edit: and it just happened to MSN Messenger, so I guess it's not just for my browsers but instead something is wrong with my connection. That's pretty weird because I didn't even touch my connection settings recently. Maybe I'm due for a simple modem/router reset...?

    edit 2: Nope, not modem or router problem. This is certainly weird. Resetted both and still same problem.

    BOC, that just sounds like your router/modem needs to be reset.

    Ok I might have fixed it. I remember turning off a service called "DNS Client" when I installed Windows x64, and I just re-enabled it. Haven't gotten that problem again so far. It's weird because if turning it off creates problems, then I should have seen symptoms a while ago, not weeks later.

    EDIT: Uh oh, still happens for some links, mostly the ones that open up a new window.
