242029 2004-06-05 03:21:00 Cant get a screen dump to give me a picture of a MPEG movie (on pause). All I get is a all black image of what Im after. The movie takes up about 25% of the screen.

Anyone know how to get a snapshot of a paused MPEG movie?

Thanks John in Mosgiel.

242032 2004-06-05 06:49:00 I use a free program called Hoversnap, that I activate when I need a screenshot. I have mapped the prntscreen button to it, and it places anything I take a screenshot of in a folder, with the date and time appended to it.

Scroll down to find it there.
