I'm trying to gather images from an anime called "GADGUARD" to create a blog layout but the anime is so new that no fansites are up yet and I can't find any images from anywhere (it was aired on April of this year in Japan and I believe it's still running).

So I want to try and capture still images from the episodes of this anime. However, I can't find any program that does this. I know some downloadable VCD players have a built in function like this. For example, I remembered QuickVCD could capture still images but I lost that file.

I've even tried SnagIt but this stupid program won't even work properly with capturing images from media files.

So is it possible or what? Can I do this?

doesn't your video card have to have video capture capabilities???

if it does won't just doing a screenshot when you're watching it work? iono..that's what i thot. I know if your video card doesn't have video capture capabilities then when you do a screenshot of a playing video it'll just be black.

The reason why a screenshot turns up black is because of the video hardware acceleration of the videocard. If you turn it off (desktop, my computer - properties, performance, graphics - none) you can then take screenshots with the "PrintScreenSysRq" key & then paste it in a digital picture editing program.

Could just use PowerDVD since that has a screenshooting feature thats easy to use or even VirtualDub.

Like RENESIS I would say PowerDVD is very easy to get captures from, you can get captures from mpeg, avi, DVD.....if it will play it you can get a capture from it.

I'm sure you don't need anymore help, but...

Part of the problem of the Print Scrn button being ineffective in taking screenshots of videos has to do with layers. There's a simple way of curbing this problem. Just open up a dummy video file, in a different program, like quicktime or something. Leave it running and open the file you want to take a screenshot of in WMP.

Using this method would take care of the layering problem, and should be able to allow you to take screenshots of the video image. Hopefully, it won't come out as a black image either.

Here's an idea...for you and you specifically:

*If you have something more to add, use the edit button as opposed to double posting.
*If you are going to post at all, make it a little more meaningful than a freaking emoticon or expression. THINK!
*If you want to talk about a different subject that is irrelevant to the topic at hand, try taking it to a different thread.
*If you want to talk to a member about a completely different topic, PM the other member. I rather not read your silly love letters that don't involve myself.

That is all for you now... And it's a damn shame that you don't even seem to know who you are.


who would that be too ?

Kamui.....Post count -10


this is crap.

Additional Post by Insidious: kamui, there was no point in deleting your posts after being quoted by Indy.
