majalo :

I've tried everything, and asked my brother. But no luck.

I open up the movie in Windows Media Player and press the Printscrn button, paste in paint, but when I save and exit the player, the screenshot becomes all black. Nothing, just a black square.

So, does anyone know how I can get the screenies to actually stay a screeny? D;

MayaHuskee :

Well, one way is if you have a special DVD player on your
computer, like PowerDVD. Thats normally how I take my
screenshots. And when you use the 'printscreen' on the
Windows Media, I have noticed that it also turns black and
such.

A good idea would not be to listen to me
and check out this site:

It should take you directly to where you want
to be. Okay? I hope that helps some! Good luck!

You can try to download a programme named Fraps, since it can take screenshots in a movie, in a game etc. It also records videos!^^

open power dvd, pause at the movie you want to take a print, leave it in windowed mode, press the print screen, open paint and crop the photo print.

I know I'm a little late to say anything, but have you tried Windows Media Player Classic? 'If you use CCCP, you can also use the "Save Image" option of Media Player Classic (included in the CCCP). You can set up a key to do that by going to "View>Options>Keys". There you can set up whichever key you want to capture screenshots, the images will be saved to a folder of your choosing as a .jpg or .bmp file without the need of further editing.' I'd found out about this (and found the above write-up) by doing a search online (I think through either Dogpile or Yahoo, can't remember exactly which, at this point). I hope this hasn't confused things any further ^ ^;;;
