screen capture?
Tuesday, February 4, 2003 by mdloafer | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
What do you folks recommend for a good (and preferably free) screen capture program? I'm looking for something that I can use to save images of my desktop, as well as take still images from DVD's (right now I'm using WinDVD, but that program's "capture" feature doesn't always work right, often squishing the image instead of keeping it the same resolution).
Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

For Your desktop the PrtScrn key on Your keyboard and a graphics program to paste there is just wonderful to do a screenshot.

PrtScrn will, most likely, just leave a black box where your DVD movie is showing, however. Most movie players use video overlay (or whatever they're calling it now - keyholing, or some such,) where the actual video playing doesn't exist to the operating system itself - it merely passes through straight to the video card.

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. I looked at PowerDVD, and unfortunately spending another $50 for another DVD player on the computer isn't an option right now, so I'll just live without the screenshots. C'est la vie, as they say somewhere far away.
