Hi. Wanna ask some help here.
How to capture the image I want when I pause a movie in Window Media Player?
I can't seem to find any button that help me capture the image.
I used Print Screen but when I "paste" it, its Window Media Player with blank image.
Any help?
Thanks in advance.

Moderation : I've merged topic regarding capturing image from video/anime/movie

download k lite codec... use the media player classic to snap it...
or use power dvd

use Winamp.

open the preferences, General Preferences>Video. Uncheck "Allow hardware video overlay". Play your video, pause it and press Print Screen. There.

whoa... my video bcome very slow after uncheck it

Thanks...
That helps alot.
Got it now. ^^

How about printscreen .. ?

CTRL + I for WMP
Winamp is not that good fro videos IMHO

print screen and then edit by photoshop...

i use Media player classic, pause the video then go to "file" and choose "save image". U can chooce between "Bitmaps" or "Jpeg" format.

print screen and paste to paint program.

I use power DVD to capture..
Press C when u want to capture..
But makesure the capture option is set to "capture to file"

This trick won't work with WMP.You'll only get a blank (black) screen.With MPC seems fine.Others, I don't know.

i m using VLC media player. cannot doit. anyone know. tried with hypersnap (capture prog) but unsuccesfully.

VLC can capture image la

Press "alt" + "ctrl" + "s" to capture the image.

1st u should go perferences in VLC. Den go to video section, u should see snapshot section. Set directories of the snapshot, set png or jpg.

the size is small dont cover the black-wide area. i want to capture the whole size
that s the prob

I recall that there is a similar thread that have discussed this topic before, so I would be glad if anyone would like to show me the link to the thread.
I tried searching on my own using the search feature, but it return me to incorrect results.

So, please, don't flame me, I tried, and I hope that someone would share their knowledge.

Thanks in advance.

uhm. you forgot to mention the source of your capture.

tai chi-ing you over to keyz

Hi, oops... I'm using Media Player Classic.
I've used the capture image Ctrl+I, but it returned me an error.
And I was watching mahoraba[OT a bit ]

Search in this forum using 'capture'. You'll get the link.

Select renderer other than Overlay Mixer

Oooo...Tai chi to me huh...Next time I have chance, I'll tai chi you lak..

Note: Hmm...maybe I should merge all topic albout capturing image from movies/video. But later la. Want to have launch.

even though thr r alot progs to capture image...i still prefer the easiest way which is using printscreen n paste it in paint.

it works for me LOL.actually i had done the print screen before but forgot what key to press. Thanks.

why didn't u jut use WMP?

i use BSplayer, click P when u wan to capture, can capture as JPEG or BMP format

but printscreen couldn't give u many thumbnail in sequence

WMP have the capture function?
MPC gives me an error when I wanted to capture the picture...
Now I'm using FRAPS for capturing anime, another 3rd party software to capture screenshots of pc.

WMP = CTRL + I

for MPC, you need to set the renderer to VMR7/WMR9

Also can use Windows Movie Maker, it's easier to do the screen capture.

oh yeah i also use BSPlayer
it's a pretty good application IMO
it plays subtitiles automatically if you have it in the folder of your video file
and screen capture with BSplayer is a snap.. really easy.
i made most of my gif animation using captures from movies, MVs, trailers.. etc etc

it's easy, download the player from here.
and then you can straight away install and play it.

then if you want to capture screen, just press P once or repeatly.
then browse into the BSplayer folder and the files you have captured already in there.
no need to print screen and paste it somewhere else.

i would do a tutorial with pictures if anyone's interested.

use cyberlink power dvd, hv this screencap features, will auto save as image file, so u just hit the screencap key, all the way! it wont appear the save as windows

so is u can screen capture while watching movie.

Err...my problem is when I click the print screen button and paste the screenie on the paint, it showed black(if the video stop)or following the video that playing. Any software or way to take the screenshot of video?

It depends on what player you're using.

Thread moved from Software main forum

use VLC media player, pause and printscreen, then paste....

After getting some replies from members, are you able to make it?
- Michael

I use Intervideo WinDVD...

It has a button to capture image...

So i don't need to pause the video, just click the button while it playing...

So easy...

use window media player 11, press print screen only.

k-lite codec pack version 3.95 is used. latest is 4.00, didnt try it yet.

capture on fly is very hard to work with, use any editing softwares like pinnacle studio, adobe premier ,edius etc to export selected frames..... remember all videos are interlaced which has two fields in a frame... you need to deinterlace it in photoshop to see clean picture without horizontal jitter.

cheers!

oohh, really a. i suspect this is because codec problem. some of my avi files become like that when i play it using wmp11. last time i used k-lite codec version 1.49, didnt get this problem, maybe i will revert back to older version of codec. here some more screenshot without horizontal jitter one, and i didnt do any photoshop edit, just printscreen.

if use window media classic, just select the proper option, then go to file>save image. but need to pause first la.

I'm not sure if this thread is still ongoing or whether TS found his solution already.
But if you're not as tech savvy enough to use all those frame-per-frame programs (like me ) and you just want to quickly take a snapshot, this is the quick way on WMP.
Open your show, pause it whenever you want to take a screenshot.
Open the WMP menu, go to tools, then to options, then to performance.
Lower your video acceleration all the way to the bottom and apply it.
Print screen and paste on paint.
Ta daaa
Do remember to move your video accel all the way back up once you're done so as to not affect your video watching qualities.
Hope this helps! =)

VLC is the easiest of them all. Just press snapshot will do! its free and size also not big.

click here http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/886911 to get a free util to generate video thumbnails ... fully customizable ...

im using media player to generate video thumbnails. free & usefull. can choose how many thumbnails u want

me vote for MPC and PowerDVD!

been using vlc player for some time but just now only know that we can use "screen shot" to print screen the movie

usefull info here!!

To capture images from Windows Media Player-compatible video files, you can use Subhash VCDPlayer

Im using Image Grabber II .NET

the picture by k-lite is a bit too small

You can use this to make multiple pics to one pic

Hi,
You can capture picture from video with Movienizer. It's a movie cataloguer, but has an extended feature of making snapshots. It's a freeware. You can search in google or simply go to www.movienizer.com

VLC player can do it !

I use Video Director。 but it is not well enough

@winniel..
great links there..
it helps me a lot..
thanks..

How can VLC do it btw? Mind guiding?

yea,vlc can do it

The new Windows Live Movie Maker 2011 has that feature now.

me just use the printscreen button~~haha

the most easiest is press the print screen and paste in paint

Press SHIFT+S on your keyboard.
The pictures will be saved on My Pictures.
If it is not working, try go to Tools>Perference>Hotkey>Take video snapshot
Change the hotkey to your likings.

agree with this he he

yeah.. this is the best method

best option is to use vlc for capturing still movie shots.

If print screen is not working on windows media player, try using it on any other player like vlc player or winamp. I tried it on vlc by pausing the video and it worked just fine.

which player do you used?

In VLC media player press ctrl+alt+s

I use FSCapture and it is awesome.

First Idea
1.First Pause Video
2. Then press Ctrl+PrtScSysRq button (now you have snap shoot of screen)
3. Then Open paint and Press Ctrl+v (Here is your image, save this file)
4. then Open this image with Picture Manager and crop the unnecessary part of image.

Second Idea
1. In window run command type snipping tool, this with this tool you can capture image.
Thanks

There Are Many video player also availabe for it . Example Mx Player

Yup! Same here, that's exactly what I would do.

It depends on the model of your laptop. Some laptops have different ways to screenshot
