Arrow Screen Captures

Personally I don't like to download a file if it doesn't have screen caps so here are some tips:

Screen Captures
=====================
Windows Media Player
=====================
You can do a screen capture from Windows Media Player.

Open Windows Media Player and go to...
Tools / Options / Performance tab / Advanced button...

Uncheck the box...'Use Overlays' / OK / Apply / Yes / OK...

Now...play the video and pause it on the screen you
wish to capture...to do your screen capture press the "print screen" button on your keyboard,
this copies the capture to your clipboard - paste the capture in Paint or Photoshop (whatever you like)
and crop/save it.

=====================
Media Player Classic
=====================
For screen captures in Media Player Classic...
try the following steps...

Open Media Player Classic and go to...View /
Options / Playback / Output...in the right pane...
tick...System Default / Apply / OK

Now play your movie clip and type...
Alt+I
to do the capture. You do not have to pause
but it makes it easier to get the frame you want.

=====================
VLC Media Player
=====================
To setup for your screen captures...open VLC and
go to...Tools / Preferences / Video button / Video
Snapshots section.

In the directory field...Browse to and select a folder
to save your captures in. (for example...you could
create a new folder on your desktop and select it)

At...Prefix...check the box...Sequential numbering.

At...Format...choose JPEG or PNG.

Finally.....left click the 'Save' button.

Now...Play the video and pause by pressing your
Spacebar when you see a screen you wish to capture.

To capture the screen...type... Shift+S

Press spacebar to advance to the next photo...
