* 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 <ctrl> + <PrintScreen> 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"

• Then take the screenshot with your screencapture-tool or <ctrl> + <PrintScreen> (*)
  screenshot 2
  
• Afterwards, move the slider back to "Full"
