Is it possible to take screencaptures with a Windows MediaPlayer?

If so, how?

Thank you very much!

Sorry, that did not work. There is no "hardware acceleration" bar that I can see. There is a "video acceleration" bar, though. Is that the same thing? I tried that, but it did not work.

I've been looking around those tutroials you suggested, and, apparently, the "capture" feature of the WMP is no longer available on the free version; one now has to purchase the nifty version for that. It used to be included in the free version, but, as usual when software is "improved", all the good features are rid of, and a bunch of crap you never use gets added.

Ah, technology!

I guess I'll just wait to take caps using my college's computers. They have precious, precious Macs.

Thanks for your help, though!

I didn't know that, sorry.

If you want something short term for DVDs, you could always get the free trial of PowerDVD from download.com. It's only for 15 days but it doesn't seem like you'll need it very long anyway. Just make sure to get version 5 or higher, because the early ones don't cap.

I'll remember that.

Thanks!
