Having Trouble Taking A Screenshot Of
« on: December 27, 2004, 04:21:00 PM »

Hey,

I want to take a screenshot of a wmv. ive tried using print screen, and snagit, both from the file being played localy on my comp and streaming from a website and all i get is a black box where the video is. I know there is a way to get a screenshot but how.

Thanks.

Try turning off the hardware acceleration in the options menu.

Taking a screenshot from a video file can be tricky, there may be a screen capture feature in your player, though.
