Screen caps

[cann]

How do you do a screen cap? Is it something any computer can do? I would love a screen cap of "If you could see what I see," with Mark in the red shirt and red bandanna at the very beginning of the episode.

Hi Cann,

you mean like this?



There are several options on how to do this, depending on what you want to do with the captured frame. But basically it can be done on any PC with minimal effort and no extra cost!

This is the easiest way; you'll need some SW to play the DVD and capture the frame you want:
I'm using Intervideo WinDVD which has a built-in capture tool. If your DVD Player SW does not have that feature, you can use a tool like Screenhunter. You can download a free version from the web (which has some limitations compared to the full or pro version, but it still does the job).
The next question is what you want to do with it. If you want to share it like I did here, then you'll need to upload it to the web first. You can use a Photo Sharing Service like Flickr or Photobucket; afterwards you only need to add the link to your message.
Voilà!

Let me know, if you have any questions, or if you need any help with this.
Just ping me or drop me a quick note.

Thank you for your help, the picture you captured was perfect. I do love that man in red! I don't know about everything else you said, sorry but I am a little computer challenged. I think I will do some reading and try to figure this out. But thank you!

No problem, anytime.
But I meant it; tell me if you need any help. I don't mind at all.

How can I make that my picture on this site?
