WMP Screenshot Help

[Tulo]

I need to take a still shot from a windows media player file so that I can print it out as a picture. I tried pressing alt+print screen and pasting it into paint but it just shows the picture inside the media player window as all black. Is there an easy way to do this? Thanks in advance.

yes there is.

 

To get Print Screen to work in WMP, you need to uncheck the box next to Use Overlays; adjust your settings like this:

tried pressing alt+print screen

 

also, AFAIK, you dont need to hold alt when you push print screen to capture a screenshot. im pretty sure you can just push print screen.

You can also set your video acceleration to its lowest setting.

If you hold alt when you press print screen, it captures only the picture of the currently selected window, not everything that is on the screen like when you just press print screen.
