Screencap from a movie.

[CBright7831 0]

I want to screencap a part in a movie I'm watching on the computer. I press print scr and pasteit and then start playing the movie again only to find out it's also playing in the place that I pasted it at.

 

How are you supposed to screencap something?

I actually had the same problem but I read in another thread how to fix it:

You need to turn off your Video Acceleration. In WMP, go to Tools, Options, Performance, and it's there. (credit to the Franchise)

 

I tried it and it worked.

Alright, I did the first now, what do I do?

Put the video acceleration slider all the way to none. I've actually tried it with a DVD player and it looks like it doesn't work. It works for Media Player but not for DVD players. Sorry.

if you use CyberLink PowerDVD to watch DVDs on your computer it come with a capture option. You just press a key whenever you want a pic taken of the movie.

Does this screen cap thing work for VLC as well? Because I have the same problem with screencapping.

Okay is the quality supposed to be way shittier?

 

EDIT: It won't let me go full screen, although I guess that's a moot point since I would only make it like this to screen cap it.
