Title: Take pictures in Windows Media Player?
Post by: Resetti's Replicas on May 01, 2010, 12:19:45 AM: Whenever I try to take a shapshot in Windows Media Player, I paste it into Paint and then it goes blank as soon as I close WMP. Also, if I try to drag the image around, the border moves but the picture itself stays in place. I've tried unticking the "overlay" box like the tutorials recommend, and I've tried the CTRL-I, but neither has worked.

Does anyone know anything else I could do?

To get around that, all it takes is a little bit of typing in the Terminal. There's gotta be something similar for Windows.

I suggest setting that thing to be your default for all video codecs. It's a mighty fine media player.
