I'm wondering if there is a way to take screen shots of what appears on my Windows Media Player videos?

 

The print screen function doesnt work for me. I can paste the image in a program like Microsoft Paint, but its really funny looking when i try to scroll around, the image itself like moves.

 

I have this nice DVD program that you can take snapshots of frames with. Any way I can do that with my .mpeg and .avi files?

You can try Windows Movie Maker, that works for me.

I have that same problem... it's because the image doesn't copy, just the frame of the media player. you can check... if you leave the image and then, in the media player continue to view the video, they push pause and you'll see that the image on paint has changed to the image of the paused video on the media player

how can i get windows movie maker? i tried going through microsoft and they want me to download an entire service pack thing. which i tried, and it didnt work.

If you have windows XP, than Windows Movie Maker comes as standard.

 

Try looking in start -> All programs -> Accessories.
