Screenshots from .avi/.mpg files

Post by Rich »   0 likes

The key to obtaining screenshots is to disable 'overlay video output' so that the print screen function works.

There are two pieces of software well suited to this;

1. VLC Media Player http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

settings->preferences->advanced options(check box)->video->overlay video output(uncheck box)

2. Vidomi Enhanced AVI Player http://vidomi.com/

right click->options->player options->output device(change from 'force overlay' to 'force gdi'->click OK

Hope this is useful,

Rich :)
