Okay i need to take some screenshots of a movie but, id like to have the screenshots taken whilst it is playing in Media Player but, whenever i try this, it just shows as a black screen :(
Anyone know what im doing wrong (or if its possible to do)?
Regards,

If you're talking about while it's playing online or like in a tour - I've never accomplished it just using the print screen and taking it to a graphic program. BUT you might try something like screenhunter or other screen capture programs that have a way of "grabbing" a movie image in the overall screenshot.
Bec,
Yeah i have a regular screenshot program but im kind of hoping to take the actual screengrab whilst it is playing because i want all of the timers to 'look' real which i dont think im going to be able to achieve if i take a regular screenshot and add all that info in Photoshop :(
There's got to be a way of taking screengrabs from Media Player because ive seen them (the grabs) on sites before.

Try using the screen capture utility from FastStoneQuote:

Probably quicker than hunting the program down, unless you have hundreds to do.
