how do you take screen shots from a video on your compter?

Most video cards, when they play video, put it on a separate layer that doesn't get captured by the normal 'PrtScrn' function.  However if you open up Windows Media Player and click on 'Tools' > 'Options' > 'Performance', try lowering your Video Acceleration settings.  This should switch the video rendering over to software rendering and make it so you can capture the video with 'PrtScrn'.  Don't forget to put it back to full when you are done capturing...\n\nIf the video imports into Windows Movie Maker, then you can use the 'Take Picture' feature to make a snapshot.  Import the clip into your collection with File > Import. Then play it and pause it where you want it.  Then use the little camera icon below the preview.\n\nBTW, I just found a great step-by-step 'tutorial' on the process of capturing still images from video.

using the s-vid output on your video card or dongle that plugs into card...or you can purchase an external video capture device.

use firewire (IEEE 1394), or that funky-shaped port on one side that is square on one side and sort of narrows on the other.\n\nIf it's not a firewire camera, i can't help you.  If it does, Windows Movie Maker will guide you.

If I understand correctly, you want to capture the image from an .avi file.\n\nYou don't need any fancy program to do this.\n\n1.  Play this .avi clip with window media player.\n2.  Pause the clip to the frame you want to capture\n3.  Press button Print screen on your keyboard.  (when you press printscreen on your keyboard, an image  of what you seing on your screen will save in clipboard.)\n4.  Open Paint (start, accessory, Paint)\n5.  Click Edit, paste.  An image of the whole screen will appear.\n6.  You can select the area of the image, crop it, and save it.\n\nThe whole process seem long, but it's very basic and simple.\n\nhope this help

alt + PrtScr(print screen) then paste into what ever image editing software you have then you can cut it out.\nOh, and make sure that, that is the active window other wise it doesn't work.\nI also realized that you could be trying to get what ever it's playing, but I'm sorry to say that as far as I know that doesn't work, and you'll have to have special software to do it. If you use printscreen it saves the boarder but not the actual play area.

Simple. There are two ways.\nFirst: Import the file into Window Movie maker. Go to the certain frame you want to capture and there should be a little camera. You can figure out the rest of that.\n\nSecond: Pause the movie on the frame you want, then press the PrintScreen/SysRq button. Open up MSPaint and paste the screenshot. Edit the borders and you're done.

you cant\n\nbut there is a primitive way of doing it; press the print screen button (usually above insert)\n\npaste that image into your image editing software; as you can see it took a screenshot of whatever appears on your desktop

Use MS XP pro...get a video card...and RCA cables...hook the output of U VCR to the input of the Video card....U should be able to handle the rest!

The first answer was good and it will allow you to capture exactly what you see on your monitor, however it'll grab not just what you're looking at, but everything else on your desktop too.  To just capture the active window, press:\n\nALT+PRT SCR and then you can paste it into whatever (Paint, E-Mail, Word, etc).\n\nGood luck!
