Remember back in Windows 98 and 2000 when you wanted a screenshot of a video you could get one simply by hitting Print Screen, copy, and pasting into your favorite image application? Well follow these easy steps, and you can capture screenshots in Windows Media Player, Winamp, other popular video players.

How to Screenshot Windows Media Player
  • Open Window Media Player
  • Then go to Tools > Options
  • In Options, select the Performance Tab
  • At the bottom click on the Advanced Button
  • Now simply uncheck "Use Overlays"
  • Click Ok
  • Restart Windows Media Player

    How to Screenshot Windows Media Player 6.4
  • Options
  • Move the Hardware Acceleration Slider to None
  • Restart Windows Media Player 6.4

    How to Screenshot Winamp Player
  • Go to Preferences
  • Video
  • Near the bottom, Turn off Overlay Option
  • Restart Winamp Player

    How to Screenshot Real Media Player
  • Go to View
  • Preferences
  • Performance tab
  • Uncheck the box labeled "Use optimized video display", hitting OK
  • Restart RealPlayer

    Many thanks to Darknet for this excellent information.

    anyone who uses real media player should be shot. Ok thats taking it a bit too far. in Mac OS X, you can hit command+shift+3 to get a screenshot of the entire screen, command+shift+4 to select an area you want to take a screenshot of.
