Hi guys!! Screen VidShot is an easy and fastest way to take video screen captures from Windows screen! Its easy to use and it allows you record screen to video Avi,wmv,mpg.spam link removed

And is also total overkill compared to a simple ALT+Prntscreen followed by copy+paste.

A great feature of ImageShack, its called "QuickLoad". It allows you to right click a image that is saved to your hard drive, and instantly upload it ImageShack. After it finishes, it will present you with the code to embed it inside a forum such as this one.

ImageShack QuickLoad makes sharing images as simple as the click of a mouse!

ImageShack QuickLoad integrates with Windows XP, 2000, or 2003 and allows you to upload images directly from your PC by right-clicking any image and selecting "ImageShack Quickload."

(Optional: Right-click on any image and select "ImageShack QuickLoad" --> "Login." Logging in will allow your images to upload directly into your ImageShack account.)

A free way to capture a screen from a DVD or other video format (Windows Media Player is known to replace the video with blackness) is Nero ShowTime (you can get a free trial at www.nero.com) and clicking on the little Camera button. By default, it copys it to the clipboard, so you can use Paint (I use PowerPoint a lot too) to save it as an image.

A tip on this is under Config - say "size of screen" rather than video size, because a full screen DVD is 720x480 which is not a 4:3 aspect ratio - so if you want it to be, use the window size because that is snapped to 4:3.

Hope this helps!

and for 4, 5 posts i thought these are funny posts...... untill i realized they arn't ........

[atifsh]

well why not save as jpeg, file size will be greatly reduced... i dont remember if paint in win98 has jpeg as a option but xp sure has one.

The preferred format here is .png because of it's size. I use ScreenHunter recommended by 2COOL and convert it to .png using Irfanview.

Windows Media Player is known to replace the video with blackness

that's because your files are playing in overlay mode. try vmr-7 or vmr-9, you should be able to use the 'printscreen function' then

as for using nero showtime, i'd stick with 'media player classic' and use its 'save image' function. small, standalone, free, best player out there IMO

[drfsupercenter]

try vmr-7 or vmr-9

what is vmr-7 and vmr-9?

[anonymez]

overlay mixer, vmr7 and vmr9 are video rendering methods, you can think of them as 'techniques' of displaying video on your pc.

overlay is fastest and most compatible. vmr-7 is the default in windows xp, but its slower and isn't so great IMO. vmr-9 is even slower (and some say buggier), but gives highest quality video.

vmr is better than overlay cause you can render 2 videos at the same, better de-interlacing, and other features like brightness/contrast/saturation control and alpha-blending (transperancy). not to mention they will allow you to use the 'printscreen' button in wmp

you'll need a more powerful (dx9) graphics card for vmr9...

[drfsupercenter]

How would I go about selecting one of these methods? BTW, I have an nVidia GeForce MX 4000 64MB PCI video card.

i'll post a link to a thread here soon on settings i use to get highest quality playback from a pc

Did this thread get messed up/hijacked or was there a bad merge from another thread from post number 25 on??
