* How to take as screenshot from a running .avi video (Windows Mediaplayer) *




Guide:

If you want to capture a screenshot from an .avi video playing in Windows Mediaplayer, you'll notice that it's not as simple as it sounds. Just pausing the video and taking a screenshot using + won't work, neither does capturing a screenshot with f.e. mwsnap or hoversnap: the picture is moving, all is black ...
But it is possible this way:


Instructions:
  • Pause the Windows Mediaplayer on the frame you want to capture, by using the pause button
  • Select in the menu of the mediaplayer "Tools" > "Options"
  • Click tab "Performance"
  • In the "Video acceleration" area, move the slider to turn down or turn off video acceleration
  • Click button "Apply"
    screenshot 1
  • Then take the screenshot with your screencapture-tool or + (*)
    screenshot 2
  • Afterwards, move the slider back to "Full"
*

Looks Little tough though,Its better if we do it with Vlc Player
"Early in the morning, late one night, two dead brothers arose to fight.
Back-to-back, they faced one another, drew their swords, and shot eachother!
The deaf policeman heard the noise, and came to arrest these two dead boys.
If you don't believe this lie I tell you, ask the blind man; he saw it too!"
