take a screen shot?

[CTho9305]

of a movie. How? I'm referring to non-fullscreen movies in Windows Media Player. They are overlays, so the printscreen key doesn't capture them. How do I take a screenshot?

i'm gonna take a wild guess, but i don't know what overlays are. if you press "Alt" and then "Print Screen", it takes a screenshot of only the working window, this might not work but give it a try!

nope, doesn't work. You get the normal screenshot... except the movie area (the "overlay" - I dont get it either) is black.

Hypersnap will grab overlays. You can find it pretty easily on the web. Try google.

I take it you are refering to .dat or .mpg files.
The way I do it is double click on the mpeg or dat file you wanna open.
Then you should be presented with a list, scroll down and select media player (NOT media player 2).
Play the film, pause it on which ever frame you wanna capture, press " ctrl c " and then paste " ctrl v" into whatever app you want

Simple eh
