how to take screenshots?

[pandorazellas]

Hey all

I was wondering if anyone knew of a program i could use to take screenshots from some anime that i have. I've tried using print screen and pasting it into adobe photoshop but for some odd reason the anime still plays in the photoshop screen, when i try to save the file the area where the picture should be is black. I've tried this while playing the anime using VLC and windows media, i've also tried pasting into paint but i still get the same problem....to be honest its starting to seriously tick me off.

Any help would be greatly appreciated ^^

thank you

if you have the latest version pf BSPlayer I think you an option there, called 'capture image' or something like that and it works just fine, at least it did so for me hope this helps

edit: i have tried printscreen a thousand times it never worked for me..the only way to capture images from an anime was from a specific player or program. If anyone knows how to do it with printscrren i'm interested , too!!!!

there's one small aplication that allows you to take screenshots, but i dont remember the name....

Also, you can try this:

Right click on your desktop, go to properties-->settings-->advanced-->troubleshoot and slide hardware acceleration from full to none, you can then take screen shots.

If that doesn't works, then on Windows media player, click "options" on the "Tools" menu, there search "video acceleration" and change it to none.
Then press ctrl and "imp pnt" and paste it on paint.

It should work...

Theres also an option in VLC Player, if you right click ^_^ The default destination for it is "My Pictures" But youc an change that :P

In my Windows media player, I can take sceens using Ctrl + I ( I as in Image). This opens up a screen where it asks you where you want to save the image to, it saves as a Jpg file at the same size as the original video format (what ever the size would be if you have the zoom set to 100%) Hope this helps.
