Windows Media Player Copying Images

[Guest technologyteach]

I am trying to take a screen shot of a short cartoon playing through

windows media player. I do the usual print screen thing but it doesn't

seem to be working properly. The image that I cut only appears as a

black box which acts like a window. As I move the black box around the

screen it shows a different part of the image.

Is there anyway I can get around this or does it sound like the film

has been protected in some way?

Thanks.

It will happen no matter what you are viewing in MP. You probably

need to find an editor for working with video files.

Try running WMP full screen when capturing the screen shot.

That's because the video image is overlaid onto the correct part of your

desktop window in the graphics card. When you do a Print Screen, it copies

the memory image representing the desktop which does not include the video

overlay. There are viewers that permit screen capture. If the format of

your cartoon is comatible with one of them. Not knowing that format, I

can't offer any recommendation.

I forgot to ask: WHY do you think that would work? Did you even test

your hypothesis on your own machine to see if it worked?

 

NO.

 

So why did you even post the "solution" that you didn't even know

would work or not?
