Message: <blockquote data-quote="SteelDraco" data-source="post: 3241574" data-attributes="member: 359">So I had a strange problem come up today, and wondered if anybody had a good solution I might not have thought of.I was trying to pull a screen capture from a video today for a wallpaper. I figured I'd just be able to pause the video, hit Print Screen (which, in Windows, copies your current view to the clipboard). I opened up Photoshop, hit paste, and... just a full black screen. I try it a couple of times, with different video players (Windows Media Player 9, Media Player Classic, and Winamp). Same result for all of 'em.I looked around in MP9 and Media Player Classic for a Screen Capture command, but couldn't find anything. I looked for plugins to do screen captures, as well. I tried a few external programs, most of which were pretty poor in actual execution.Does anyone have any recommendations, short of something like Premiere, of a good way to pull images from a video source? (DivX, in this case) I've solved the problem for now, but it's a silly, poor-quality, and way-too-complicated workaround for what should be a fairly easy problem.</blockquote>
