Hi
 
Im watching a video in WMP 9 and i paused the video then hit "alt+printscreen" then went into paint and tried to paste it. It pasts fine but the video is black. It shows the player and everything but I cant get it to save and capure the video at that time when i pause it. I have tried to paste it into Paintshop pro and photoshop still nothing. I have also tried third party screen caputre software.. still nothing. Its weird casue it shows the video part of it when i paste it in and the video file is still open But as soon as i close the video file and go back into paint its gone. Is there anyway possible to capure a screen shot of a video.
thanx,

That's because the playing video is using an overlay, think of the screen in layers, and that layer is being excluded from capture.

Some players like Bsplay have a screen capture function.

Easy peezy.
 
Goto display properties>advanced. then click troubleshooting. Slide the slider bar to "none"
Then take your screenshot.
then when finished, turn back to full acceleration. (Do not forget otherwise your games wont work.)
