I have a film that i want to take a screenie from. But taking a screenshot of Windows media player results in some very strange things. It appears that instead of copying the pixel data, it copys the data of another video layer. Meaning, if i change the size or part of the movie, the image in the editor also changes. Essentially, i can watch the movie by doing "Print Scrn" or WMP, copying it into a gfx editor and playing the movie in WMP. Then switch back to the gfx editor, and the movie is rolling.... inside the image.
Very strange. But i can kind of understand why.
My main reason for posting is AHHH!! I really want to take a screenshot of a particular place in the movie, but i cant! Saving the image just results in a blank layer where the movie should be. Other screen capture methds such as screen capture programs just yield the same result.
Anyone know how I can take a screenie of the film?
EDIT: Oh, and taking a screenshot of the screenshot doesnt work either. ;P
