Editing Windows Media Player11 Screen Shots

**TheRevSev** · 02:42 AM

Ok so I am a little new to PSP but not to editing in general. I have been trying to find a way to edit my screen captures from media player when watching DVDs. In essence I want to use scnes as desktops but every time I do the screen capture and edit it to the size I want all I get is a free floating square thats the size I want but not the picture itself. I know in older versions of Media Player there was a command just for capturing JPEGs but it doesnt work with WPA11

Anyone have any idea how to solve this or how I can edit the screen capture itself to only be of what I want?

I had a similar problem when trying to capture shots in WMP.
I found this on another site...

Open Window Media Player
Then go to Tools | Options
In Options, select the Performance Tab
Way below you click on the Advanced Button
Uncheck “Use Overlays’
Click Ok
And you are ready.

Now you can use any screen capturing app, even the Print Scr button.

I have tried every method of obtaining the screen captures through WPM and no matter which set up I used I still have had no luck, its not getting the frame captured from the video thats the problem, resizing or cropping the screen capure after I get it is where I am having difficulty
