Is it possible to take screencaptures with a Windows MediaPlayer?

If so, how?

Thank you very much!

I hate having Windows sometimes.

actually. if you hit the printscreen button and you get that black screen do it again and it like overrides it somehow.. make sure you paused the movie file first though. OR you should invest in powerdvd

I don't get a black screen when I hit "printscreen". Just nothing happens.

are you using photoshop? it works with paint to..

hit printscreen open up a art program and hit ctrl v

youll get a black screen bring up the movie hit printscreen again and go back to the art program and hit ctrl v.

i merely figure it out after being fustrated with it months ago.

I don't have Photoshop. I'm guessing that's the main reason of this problem.

My bad. MS Paint fucked it up.

The entire image of the MediaPlayer with the cap appears, but when I try to crop only the movie out and copy and paste it into a new document, the black area "behind" the Media Player gets selected, too, and there is no way I can get rid of it.

Also, when I save the image as a JPEG, a grid of black dots appears on the image.
