Question:
How the hell do you take screencaps of movies and stuff from Winamp/Media Player/other video playing program? Is there some program you can download to do it? Cos I seriously just can't. Try going print screen, with any movie playing program, paste it into any image editing program (Photoshop, Paint, whatever) and it's like the spot where the movie is opens a window through the paint program so I can see through it to whatever's behind it, be it the movie I'm playing, desktop, Word document...
I have a deep-seated urge to make a layout or several from the Boulevard of Broken Dreams clip, you see, and since said clip is essentially DVD quality (brother recorded it off of Rage on telly with his tv card, so... I have no idea what I'm talking about, obviously. It's shiny tho), I want caps of it to work with instead of looking for something online and hoping I get something that stretches over 300 pixels.
But I can't freaking cap it.
IT'S REALLY FRUSTRATING.
I know about half of you lot can cap stuff, so help me out here, please? ._.
