Screen grabs

#1 Post by N1095A »

A while back someone posted instructions on doing screen grabs. It involved pausing the video and using the print screen key. I can't seem to find the post. Would someone mind re posting the instructions, please?? Thanks.

N,

If you're running a DVD-playing program, e.g., WinDVD, just hit "P" (for "picture," I assume) and it saves a snapshot. A little window opens up and shows. in thumbnail format, the pictures you've "snapped." You just need to be sure to SAVE them!! If you close that window and haven't saved them (to wherever you want to put them), they're gone.

At least, this is the way WinDVD works. Other programs may work slightly differently but I'm sure each of them has some way to do this.
