um... i have a question , how do you capture screen .MKV file??? i use zoom and doing the print screen won't do the trick, the zoom player have it's own capture but it only work for Xdiv file, so is there other method to capture a screenshot on .MKV (won't work mean that the pic taken is plain black)

@darky sadly the win player classic crash due to unknown reason.... maybe because i install matroska filter but the zoom were fine, so right now even i'm using cccp i cannot use the win classic (it's either i use zoom or the win, i cannot installed both) so is there any other way??

well, I use media player classic, but the save image option in there doesn't work for me *shrugs* try VLC media player, it's another open-source free player and it can also play lots of file types. Under video, click on snapshot. Oh, first go to options to set where you want the snapshot to be saved. For watching vids, though I still prefer mpc over vlc, vlc has pretty sucky dragging issues.

you cant print screen from video like h 264 or .mkv. but for me, i use virtualdub. virtualdub is a video editing & video capturing program, i ussually use this to capture some image sequences from some of my xvid & h264 anime. you can dwnld it from www.virtualdub.org. after install it, you must install Avisynth as plug in for .mkv, .mp4, etc. i'm forgot where i dwnld it. after install it. you can opened video file by: open notepad, then add : DirectShowSource("the file address") then Save file /all file types/save file as: video.avs then open virtualdub and drag that video.avs to virtualdub to run the script. o forgot you must have the codec. too difficult maybe. but this program can be used for makin subs from anime too  visit aolas.soup.io for your usual dose of seiyuu pics |

@Aolas-san Yeah, you can't print screen from h264 or .mkv vids, but somehow the in-built "save image.." and "snapshot" options in mpc and vlc respectively seems to work, even for those vid types. But like I mentioned, the "save image.." option in mpc doesn't work for me when I try to grab screenshots from .mkv files, though I've read that it works. VirtualDub is a good free program, I'm using it for a bit of video editing on the side in my work as well. However, XD I refrained from suggesting it bcos installing it and getting it to work just to get a screenshot is a bit overkill in this case XD @Key Okay~! I've tested this with .mkv files. I'm so used to using vlc to grab .mkv screenshots that I forgot that WMP can do it too. Just pause at the scene you need, and press control+i. Viola~! A save dialog will pop up. If I'm not mistaken, the pic resolution will be the same as your video size. The downside here is, your WMP has to be able to play .mkv files. I forgot how I got the codec for it in the first place, I've abandoned WMP for so long >_<; I'm sure the codec can be gotten easily, I dun remember having trouble locating it XD

@BKNO9 to tell you the truth before i tried all my player to find out if they can do it (the snapshot) surprisingly the WMP classic is not crash this time, then i use WMP too, but still no option on doing screen shot just like you i ahve abandoned WMp for so long that i actually forgot that i have, i use zoom because that's the only player i'm able to play .MKV now when i tried WMP and it work there it took me by surprise that my WMP actually able to played the format 0_o but it say that my WMP doesn;t recognize the format but still able to played it then i search the help and found capture but it say for DVD but i tried it anyway and voila just as you asid ctrl+i do the trick ^^ THX for the replies guys ^^ this thread can be lock ^^
