How do I capture still images from Windows Media Player (WMP) video files?

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.

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.

If you want to play avi files on Windows Media Player 9 then you will need to add some codec so WMP can read and play these files.  Please refer to Chris Lanier's article on how to install and you the codecs.\n\n"Guide To AVI Playback In Windows Media Player" -- C. Lanier\n(http://msmvps.com/blogs/chrisl/articles/10453.aspx)\n\n"Basic Information:An AVI is a container format that will hold audio and video.  Windows Media Player does support playback of AVI files, but in the past few years their have been many new codec's developed to compress the audio and the video that is inside the AVI file." -- excerpt from article.

i personally use windows media player but i also use BSplayer pro for a lot of file types that wmp doesn't like (primarily video files) and it is really good (easy to work too) you can find this available for a free download i believe on download.com this bsplayer is especially useful if you're downloading files from p2p sources.

A free solution would be Debugmode's Wink. You can get it at http://www.debugmode.com/wink/.... Wink does not capture audio, I believe. But, it captures the video very well.\n\nIf you were considering paying for it then your best bet would be Camtasia Studio. You can learn more about it at http://www.techsmith.com/products/studio...

On Windows, you have to use Quicktime.. or you can play them on a PSP and probably a video iPod as well.\n\nYou can probably convert them to another format (avi or mpeg 2) and then you can view them with Windows Media Player.

I presume it's a .wmv? If so, you need to downlaod Windows Media Player. It's free - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/default.mspx

There is a program called Streambox that will do this, but it is no longer sold and may or may not be legal to use.\n\nAlso see http://www.videohelp.com/tools?s=39
