screenshots

[Bpsamus]

I need some help taking screen shots of naruto episodes. Anyone know how to do it on windows XP? Everytime i do it and paste in photoshop, the video keeps streaming and it dosent work properly at all. Anyone????

*nods* I had exactly the same problem, but I managed to solve it.
Use your Windows Movie Maker...if you haven't already got it, just go to Windows update and get it from there...it's a freebie.

Import the episodes into it and there you go you can take screen shots until you drop.
You only have a choice of 2 sizes, but they are pretty decent and the images are crystal clear.
(depending on how clear the episodes are of course)

Been doing a lot of it lately, just have to find the motivation to put them all into my site ~_~

The pictures its making are only thumbnails, I need some bigger screenshots, like the actual video size. Any ideas?

[Valindra]

Thumb Nail size?
You are doing something wrong then.
Just try to drag the preview screen across...told you before you had several sizes to choose from.

This is a screen shot I took with Movie Maker:

Doesn't look like a thumb to me.

but try doing it with a Naruto episode. It wont let you get the big pic.

Well, Blue I don't know why you too have a problem there, I just picked a random episode I still had on my drive and took a screen shot from it.

It came out ok..here it is:

[Valindra]

As I explained at the beginning of the thread, I import the episodes into the Windows Movie maker and take the shots from there.

thats probably because mine is WMM 2 while yours is the outdated crappy WMM 1 =P or there is WMM 3 and you have it and WMM 2 is crappy and outdated

yep your right, it is outdated v1.0 *gets 3* now AH i see it now

[Bap]

[Bap]

different between 1 adn 2? you saw my pic of v2....compare it to v1

hm im trying to find the new exe file... where the hell is it?

[Valindra]

Just have a look in your start up menue.
The windows update usually install the programs automatically.

Click on:
Start
All Programms
Accessories
Entertainment

..and there you should see the movie maker. :)

odd mine doesnt have it there... what version of windows you running?

[Valindra]

I got Windows XP Home Edition.
Well..hope you manage to find it.
Just run a search.

WOW this is gay... i updated it but it shows no difference wtf? i ran 2.0 setup but its still running 1.0... WTF, and its not in my shortcuts and when i did a search no 2.0 exe was found
