Default How to Do Screencaps
Hello,

I'm wondering if anyone here can tell me how to do screencaps off of realplayer? I tried to do it using Paint, but all I ended up with was the realplayer box and complete blackness inside of it.

Anyone?

Thanks,
Carolyn

I don't think you can. If you play the file in Windows Movie Maker, you can take caps.

Is it a file you're playing on Real Player? Or something like live stream...(None file)

It's on RealPlayer.. Superpass... It's the only way to watch the Big Brother Live Feeds for the US version of the show (which is what I watch).

Tutorial, I suppose

My best tip is to turn hardware acceleration off and use the print-screen method.

Just do the following.

To disable graphics hardware acceleration globally for all applications in Windows XP or Windows 2000, Select
Control Panel - Display - Properties - Settings - Advanced - Troubleshooting and slide the Hardware Acceleration slider from Full to None.

Or in Windows Media Player you can go to Tools menu / Options / Performance / Advanced and turn off Use Overlays.

Thanks, but I don't.

I just need the directions originally given here by cgimusic expanded to include Vista
