Title: DVD Screen Capture in MC11
Post by: lee269 on November 08, 2004, 12:31:15 pm
I got the Shrek 2 DVD the other day, which is worth watching simply for Puss In Boots' doe-eyed sympathy face. Indeed my wife laughed at that so much she wanted to get a picture of it as her desktop wallpaper.

So I paused playback at a suitable frame in MC, but couldnt get Alt+PrtScrn to work either in windowed or full screen view - the capture showed the window border but no contents. No obvious menu item in MC either. I dont have a specialist screen capture program.

Ive never tried this before. I suspect its a deliberate copy protection feature. Can anyone confirm this or tell me a legitimate way of making a screen capture? I dont want to break any rules here - if its not allowed, then fair enough.

Yeah, thats the one - thanks. Makes me laugh just looking at it

Wife issue solved, then. Id still like to know about the MC issue though for future reference.

You can see from my current avatar that our Bobby has a lot to learn... :)
