Free player that's one hit of " P " key away from capping your videos ..inside.......
 

Download the BSplayer at http://www.bsplayer.org/ It's in my opinion the best media player around it plays everything . change the size of the video you are playing with the scroll button on your mouse . and you can cap anything your playing just buy hitting the P key . Trust me it's way better than WMP

I only use BSPlayer for movies.

For clips, I prefer to use Media Player Classic http://sourceforge.net/projects/guliverkli/. Think Media Player 6 with a lot of new features and customisability. The latest version allows screen caps.

bsplayer doesnt play everything
 

New Wmv files from web dont play. Microsoft is trying to make me download wmp 9 which I know and it even says will dissrupt my current player preferences. I know w each "upgrade" they include crap which makes u use only theirs which leads to buying their "updates" to continue. Heres the finger to Gates.

Problem is I cant play the new wmv's im getting from net. I thought this was my solution but looks like not. Thanks anyway Kitt and for your great posts.

Thanks for the tip. Just downloaded it and love it!
