Screen Shots in Windows Media Player

[Happy Harry]

Guyz,

Can anyone tell me how to take screen shots in Windows Media Player.
Whenever I try and use the Print Screen/Sys Req Button and paste it in MS Paint, I get only black screen.

Any help
Regards
Happy Harry

Dear Harry
You are getting blank/black screen because Media Player actually does not display video on normal screen surface. It displays the video on a special layer produced by hardware acceleration known as Overlay.

In Windows Media Player Version 9 and above, Press Ctrl-I to capture a screen/frame, To get more clarity - pause the media player and then press Ctrl-I

Note : Ctrl-I method of capturing applies only to Microsoft supported movie files.
