Hey guys!

I was jsut wondering, how can you take a snapshot of a movie on the PC?
I tried with the 'prt scr/ sysrq ' button, but it dosn't work well. (when i do tihs, the picture changes as i play the movie) I use to be able to do it with InterVideo WinDVD, but the special feature expire....

Any ideas how?

thx.

You can use the free VLC Player.
While a video is playing, select Video then Snapshot. (or just right-click on the video when playing and choose snapshot.)
It will save a snapshot as a .png file to your My Pictures folder.

Media Player Classic is another good movie player with the ability to take snapshots. I prefer it over VLC. Plus it's a much smaller program.
