    Anyone know how to...

    Save a frame from a video as a image file? Prefferably i would like to be able to do this without buying a program, but even if i have to it would be ok.

    Thanks

    Tim

    That's easy. In your video program go to video settings and set hardware acceleration to off(slider all the way to the left). Use the program's screen capture option or hit print screen.

        Yeah yeah, it's true, but it also degrades the quality. Still, better than nothing.

            Snatchit! Is one such thing, but if you're using the demo, it only captures in 250x200, and pastes "Snatchit! Demo" across the center of the screen, as seen here in the frame I got my avatar from.


            It luckily worked out for me.

                Or, you can download and install the K-lite codec pack - one of the best codec packs on the internet in my opinion:



                Once installed, load up "windows media player classic". It has an option to take a screen shot by simply pressing a single key, without losing image quality by turning off the hardware acceleration.

                  Windows Movie Maker came free with my computer, so i always use that.

                    Ati File Player does that too. But an ATI card is needed.

                    Beat not thy breast and curse thy evil fate,
                    But thank the Builder for the trials that shape thee.
