Helped needed... I can't make a decent screencap

[Mozinha]

So this is the first time I'm doing screencaps on my new computor. I really need to cap these videos but for some reason it WON'T WORK.

 

I'm doing it like I've always done: open the video on WMP, pause and press print screen and then paste it on paint and then save. But it doesn't work. When I save the image, the screen part of it turns black.

 

What am I doing wrong here?

You cannot use the Print Screen key on your keyboard to takes caps of videos; it never works. You'll need a video player capable of taking caps of video files or a program specially designed to takes video captures.

 

Windows Movie Maker works fine if you want something basic. Just import the video into WMM to take the caps.

 

I recommend WinDVD for taking caps (preferably version 6. I haven't had too many good experiences with version 7).

That's so weird. For 5 years I've been using printscreen key and it always worked to cap videos.

I'll install WinDVD! Thank you so much for the help

I use BS player. All you have to do is pause (or not even that) and press "p". Simple!
