Obtaining a Screen Dump or Screen Print from Windows Media Player

[Bert184]

Hello every body

Is it possible to obtain a screen dump or screen print from a Windows Media Player when it is running. I often visit the following website, which is very fascinating to watch.

The quality is quite good. However if I make a screen dump by using PrtScn button and open it in a graphics software package. All I get is a black blank screen. The only way I have done is to make an actual photograph of the monitor screen. But this is not all that good.

Is there a free program around which allows me to do this.

My computer is Windows XO SP2, I have 160Gb of Hd, and the graphics utility I use, is an oldie Ullead PhotoImpact Version 4. It is a good one and I'm comfortable with.

Thank you........Bert

Do you want to take a still screenshot, like this?

Yes something like that. Also if possible download the video on a file in the computer, so I am able to play it back.

Screenshot --> press Print Screen and CTRL + V in mspaint.

Not possible to download it as it seems to be live.
