WMP9 Capture Trick
 

*didn't find this in search*

I just found out that if you press CTRL-I while a movie is playing in WMP9* you can get screencaps without having to do that annoying perfomance acceleration trick. When you hit CTRL-I a save box comes up and jpeg is the default format to save the cap.

Just thought I'd share the wealth.


*WMP9=Windows Media Player 9 for the neophytes.

huh, I had no idea you could do that with WMP9.

Same here, thanks for the tip!

Kick ass, now I can take pictures of my friend from Girls Gone Wild and post them here

w007, sounds good, never heard of that before.

v.f-in cool, will have to try that sometime. thx for the info :)

nice. I wonder if QT or BSPlayer or anything like that has a capture command also?

I never knew about this, thx for the input.

sweet, i've always wanted to do that

Or you can turn off overlays under tools > options > performance > advance . No need to hold ctrl. Just press print screen.

Does this only work with certain file types? I tried an avi. and no go.

Was looking for a feature like this. Freaken nice!

Anyone tried to hit print screen while a movie is running and then opening paint and pasting?
As long as the movie is running active in media player it is also running in paint, realtime printscreen... odd...

yeah the printscreen thing only works if you disable hw acceleration. I always hated that method.

Bsplayer has the same feature. just press *P* and it will automatically save a jpg in the program folder. You can change that in the options somewhere.
