to take screen shots in Windows Media Player,

Open Window Media Player
Then go to Tools | Options
In Options, select the Performance Tab
Way below you click on the Advanced Button
Uncheck “Use Overlays’

after you do that, the print screen buttom should allow you to take good screenshots

actually i hate mp4 files the most. they don’t play on QT for me, and almost certain needs MPC/VLC both of which i hate.

oh? Is that the new version? I think my vdub is like 2-3 years old (never bothered to upgrade since it pretty much did all I needed it to). I’m currently running on that community codec pack (installed it a while ago) i wonder if that + the vdubmod would work? I’ll try that as well thanks!

Try using the VirtualDub Mod instead, since i use that for screenshots as well Use the K-lite Mega Codec pak and Media Player Classic. This one works for me

well like I said…
Playing mkvs is no problem for me
(they play just as fine as avis do o_o;)
Its really the screencap issue I had
I actually use virtual dub for all my screencaps and I couldn’t open any MKVs in vdub haha. But yea I’ll give that BSPlayer a shot

MKV is my favourite format. I hate avi because it skips on my com. MKV is high quality, smooth and takes up less space. It only sucks for people who have slow computers or don’t know how to install codecs.

I have k-lite’s codec pack installed (cccp did some funny stuff last time I used it) and find that bsplayer will work with some mkv, but then not at all with others. Those that don’t work in bsplayer I have to go use Media Player Classic

But i prefer bsp simply coz I can specify what name it automatically spits the file out as, and I take an assload of screen shots.

Not to mention that groups have a larger tendancy to get weird with filesize concerning mkv it seems to me. I don’t mind when it’s under 170mb.. but when they start giving you 200mb one week, and then 240mb the next.. I dunno, just irritates me and my poor dsl.

haha actually I have the community codec pack installed!
It’s awesome, a friend of mine told me about it a while ago the first time I ran into the MKV demon.
However I didn’t wanna have too many players which is why I stuck to plain ‘ol windows media player 6.1
