How do I capture a still from a movie?

Postby amdg » Thu Jun 23, 2005 11:17 pm

Mr Kobayashi: First, I experienced a sort of overpowering feeling whenever I was in the room with foreigners, not to mention a powerful body odor coming from them. I don't know whether it was a sweat from the heat or a cold sweat, but I remember I was sweating whenever they were around.

Hee, good one Charles.

It's like some copy protection thing. I use a 3rd party program for that because Windows Media doesn't want you to capture frames. But if it's Real Player you are probably screwed Real player is not popular enough to hack.

Camtasia has some apps that work with RealMedia. SnagIt and Camtasia Studio let you draw a rectangle around the source and copy that image - for your purposes, that sounds fine.

And it runs fine on my OS of choice, Windows 2000. :wink:

I'm sure there must be third-party software solutions for windows that let you take a picture of anything that is on your screen.

If this was a Mac, you could just use the Grab utility.

OK, thanks guys. Yeah I thought it might be a copy protection issue. I went and got some third party software that does it fine. Cheers.

Print screen does not work with accelerated windows (as BB was alluding to). To screenshot games, DVD's, etc, you have two methods:
- Disable video acceleration in the app
- Use a program that can grab from DirectDraw buffers (Snag-it! is what I use)

Yep, I see that now. Thanks, and to BB too.

Yep, too bad this 'replacement' hasn't even bothered to show up.

OK, I took more than a few minutes to think about it (but I skipped through the rest of your post, hope you don't mind).

And here's what I've got to say.

Apple fell into a treacherous area when it eased off on its software focus and concentrated on making desktop/laptop products built out of third party components, in order to put designer-looking home computers out there on the market. At the time, apple didn't have the capacity to build all the necessary components themselves, and so outsourced it.

The problem was, and still is today, that whenever an 'apple' computer screen blacks out, or when an 'apple' hard drive packs it in, or an 'apple' logic board folds, the consumer will blame apple, because the apple logo is right there on the case or screen in front of them, even though the parts that failed are from other vendors.

That's bad business and bad marketing.

OK, you've got me scratching my head.

That's standard industry practice these days. Dell "components" are not made by Dell any more than some of the "components" in a Mac are made by Apple.

OS X is one of the best operating systems I've ever used. And here is a bonus. If the software runs in Unix or Linux, it can be recompiled to run in OS X. OS X is so much more powerful than people imagine. Im a novice at using it but already Ive seen how much better and easier than Windows XP it is. And I use both at work equally.
I will not abide ignorant intolerance just for the sake of getting along.

We all know you want to take p0rn stills, right? :wink:

WMP does not work right probably because of copyright protection. The only way that I know of is use some screen capture program (like CaptureItPro) or for me, I use the media player that came with my SB audio card and hit the PrtSc button from there and cut n paste.
