is there anyway to take a picture of a video playing on the computer? i have videos of me and i want to take pictures of them to put on my blog

use your print screen button (upper right near scroll lock and suck) when you want to take the picture, then simply open up mspaint and click edit >> paste

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

save as whatever and voila.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

alternatively, if you use alt+print screen to take a picture of just that window and nothing else, and then use ctrl+v to paste the picture.

everyone knows how to take a ss with prnt scr butits not that simple lol, when i paste it into paint the vid is still going on in the picture :s its really weird and when u stop the vid the picture just goes black

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

but anyways i finally got it by uploading the vid to a website,all the other dvd players didnt work

tried pausing the video do print screen it? or do i assume you do this anyway?

Windows Media Player has something like that, it allow you to press a button and save an image, just an fyi.

Like nvw08 said, there's a function in Media Player 9 and 10 to allow screenshots to be taken. Press Ctrl+I.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you want to do it manually, including using a stretched image etc...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tools -> Options -> Performance -> Advanced -> Make sure that you have no options enabled for using Overlays.
