Screenshot Programs

Mon May 09, 2005 8:05 am

I'm looking for a free program that takes screenies of DVDs or video clips when play them in Windows Media Player or computer DVD softwre.

A name will do, but links would be great.

Meh. I'm not sure if I can help you, but The GIMP does take screenies. You can also set it to take a screenshot after a certain amount of time in a certain window. It's kind of a pain to download and install just for screenshots. *shrugs* I'll give you the link anyways.

The Print Screen button never fails me, but you need to copy the picture into something else to be able to use it again.

Try Wink. It is a Tutorial and Presentation creation software, primarily aimed at creating tutorials on how to use software (like a tutor for MS-Word/Excel etc).

Using Wink you can capture screenshots, add explanations boxes, buttons, titles etc and generate a highly effective tutorial for your users.

It's free, and it automatically takes screenshots from video files (it's made for AVIs but works with mpegs as well.

Windows media player.

Media Player != Windows. Should work if you have the latest version.

Crud, I have 9, last I checked. Would it still count even though I don't have 10, or no?

I'm pretty sure they kept that option throughout the whole 8-9-10 series.

Should work -- try it.
