Is it possible? Ive tried hitting 'printscreen' in both fullscreen and windowed mode, but all I get when I try to paste it in Photoshop is a blank black field. Im sure theres a way and Im just overlooking something stupid.

edit: btw, what Im trying to do is get screenshots in AVIs.

edit 2: Ive tried it paused and while its playing also.
 
It's cos it's playing through hardware mode and not software mode. I don't know how to change it though, but I'm pretty sure that's the reason.

EDIT: here's a pic of how to do it in preferences

I havent got a clue how to change it either. If you pause it and hit 'View file info' in Winamp, then dbl click 'ffdshow MPEG 4 Video Decoder' in the 'Currently used filters' box, a Properties window pops up and there are all sorts of options, but I dont know what they all mean. The answer might be in there somewhere? Dunno:confused:
 
Ahh Mise, ok, I'll study that and see what I can do, thanks!
 
Works perfectly, I was worried the quality of the image might be reduced. Thanks for the quick help, you kick serious A, Sir!:goodjob:
