Question

I want to take a still from a video in my media player is it poss so how

Answer 1

Print Screen key lies on the top right part of most keyboards along with the Scroll Lock and Pause Break Key.



If you use Windows, then just by clicking on print screen key will capture or take a photo of all content of your current desktop screen. This image is attached to the clipboard.



So here is the free and simple way to capture Images from Windows Media Player



* Open Window Media Player

* Then go to Tools | Options

* In Options, select the Performance Tab

* Way below you click on the Advanced Button

* Uncheck “Use Overlays’

* Click Ok

* And you are ready.



Now run your movie in any size or screen resolution. Use the standard ‘Print Screen Key’ Method as described and you have captured a snapshot from your favourite movie on windows media player.



Or, Instead of the Print Screen Method - try pressing “CTRL+I”. This pops up a save as window after capturing the screenshot

After you open Window Media Player. Go to Tools | Options | Performance Tab. You will see a picture similar to the first image above. Reduce the “Video acceleration” from the default Full to None, click ok and then close down media player. Next open the file you want to take a still using the Print Screen method - from press ALT and the PrintScrn key to copy an image of media player to the clipboard.

You don't need to download any extra screen capture software! This function is built-into MS Windows. You could try using the "Print Screen" button on your keyboard. This will put a copy of your screen's image on the clipboard. From here, head to Start > Accessories > Paint, and from the Edit menu in the menu bar, choose Paste. You'll need to crop the image with Paint so it will just show your WMP screen, and save this in whatever file format you'd like.

use a software or if you don't want any hassle, just use the print screen button which is to the left of the scroll lock and paste the image to any image editor (e.g paint)



and don't forget to pause the video before you print screen!!
