Screen Capturing

**phatjoe88** · February 28th, 2005, 07:47 PM

Here's my problem, and its killing me. I have some videos that I downloaded in .avi, and I want to share some screenshots from them. Problem is, when I do a screenshot (Fn + Prnt Scrn) then paste it into MS Paint, once I go to save it, the image disappears.

Anyone know how to solve this problem?

Sorry but it took me forever to figure out how to do a screen capture, so knowledge about taking vid caps escapes me

just a recommendation, smplayer is even better than mpc imo. check it out.

heh, i have the video that those last two screenshots were taken from...

ImageGrabber II is another good freeware, but the Media Player Clasic is so easy for a beginner

When I started out I thought that everything was hard to figure out.

My new capture software of choice is CyberLink's Power DVD 6. It's not free, but I got mine fairly reasonable. I like the ability to fast forward and back at several speeds, and once you get where you want to go, the frame-by-frame advance is pretty smooth. The only drawback is every snapshot is saved as a .bmp. No biggy really since I fire up Irfanview and batch process all into .jpgs in a snap. Irfanview is freeware and in my experience one of the handiest of all programs. I use it constantly to resize, or even something as simple as flipping a picture.

Pix resizer is another freeware that can batch convert. I also use it to make thumbs for my site

**echoes** · February 14th, 2008, 11:23 AM

fyi, gimp also has batch capability. (not just resizing, hundreds of other things too).
