| 393265 | 2005-10-04 06:18:00 | A family member needs to get some screenshots from a dvd for a project, The deufult dvd player on this computer is windvd, using screenprint dosent seem to work becuase as soon as windvd is closed the image goes blank, even if previously save, I've tried a couple of screenprint programs and the same problem occurs. I have heard that windvd has a built in screen capture feature, but this is the oem version and that option in the setup if faded and unable to be changed. any ideas? |

| 393271 | 2005-10-04 12:21:00 | Ive never had any issues using VideoLAN Client (http://www.videolan.org). Not only is playback region-free, but it also works when you hit Print Screen on your keyboard. Works for me, I took this: img395.imageshack.us |

| 393272 | 2005-10-04 14:21:00 | I'm not familiar with WinDVD, but my default media player, Media Player Classic, has a Save Image... option under the File menu item which dumps a bmp to where ever you choose. WMP also has the shortcut Ctrl+i to capture a frame which doesn't work all the time but may work with DVD playback. To bypass the 3D Acceleration which usually prevents screenshots of video playback being taken via Print Screen, I used to play a movie, and then open another instance of whatever media player and just Print Screen that one but found out that most media players have a screen capture function as mentioned already, which saves a lot of mucking around. Apparently WinDVD(5+) has a screen capture utility although I wouldn't know anything about that. |
