screen capturing (1 Viewer)

[Rachel666]

i'm not sure if the nerd board is the right place to ask this but i'm trying to get stills from a dvd for art using ctrl+alt+print scrn and placing them into paint or psp and saving them as jpegs. but whenever i save them they just come up as black. is this to stop piracy? how do i get around it?

DVDs are displayed in a video overlay, so don't actually form part of the screen that the print screen will grab... you're getting a black box where the picture should be, right?

if you're using PowerDVD or WinDVD or something other than Windows Media Player then there should be an option to to a screen grab. I think VLC plays DVDs, and that has a snapshot function.

VLC plays dvds alright. Where's the snapshot function out of curiosity?

in windows media player if you go to tools > options > performance > advanced and then deselect "use overlays" i think you can use the print screen button as normal.

Video | Snapshot

but you have to go into preferences & set your snapshot save location & restart for it to work.
