Screen-shots from WMP (1 Viewer)

[Dreamerish*~]

Is there any way I can get a screen-shot of a video I'm watching on Window's Media Player?

Usually I'd just press the "Print Screen" key and paste into paint, but when I screen-shot a video on WMP and paste, the image actually changes or goes to black after I save it.

No, you can't screenshot it with the Print Screen button. Long explanation =)

Download Media Player Classic. Open the video, pause where you want, then file->save image.

Actually, you can, but you have to disable hardware acceleration first.

Yes, but that's tinkering beyond the capacity of the average computer user =)

We're aiming for solutions that cater for as many demographics as possible.

Ah, fair enough.
