Question about screencapping on Windows Media Player
Hi to all, I wasn't sure where to put this thread so General Chat it goes I guess!
This has been bothering me for sometime now... I was wondering how to take screencaps when viewing videos via Windows Media Player. When I press the print screen key nothing appears. Help would be much appreciated. |

Which version are you using?
PrintScreen works perfectly fine with WMP11 for me. |

My impression is that it has something to do not only with the player you use, but also the video card... But VLC would be a good solution, because even if the print screen button wouldn't work, it has a feature to take snapshots built in.

I don't know which version of Media Player I am using, but it certainly isn't the latest, decided not to get that one a while ago.
I just downloaded VLC. How do I take screencaps off that? |

FRAPS works with Windows Media Player (Only when the video is in motion, though. If you pause it, it won't work.)
