hmmmmmmmmmm u already tried snatchit and snagit, but they too don;t work for u :-\

which video cards are u using BTW ??

I have tried it from two different computers and one of them crashed while trying to paste the image in ms-paint. I am using an on-board inter graphics card I believe... well it is in my laptop.

I have no problem to capture a video by snagit. May be you are using laptop, that is the reason.

Hi try this :

If none of the above works then you can play your video in
xingplayer and when you like to take screen shot just stop the video and then you can take a picture by clicking the camera button. I will save in various file extension like jpg, gif and so on..

Yeh, I think you should test DirectDraw in yous system to make sure DirectX function working well

You can diagnose and resolve DirectX problems using the DirectX Diagnostic Tool and the Multimedia and Games Troubleshooter. The DirectX Diagnostic Tool helps you test the functionality of DirectX, to diagnose problems, and to adjust the level of hardware support used by DirectX, which can be used to avoid issues on some multimedia drives. The DirectX Diagnostic Tool (Dxdiag.exe) is installed with DirectX and can be run by clicking Start, clicking Run, and then typing dxdiag.

Chose Display tab->Test DirectDraw->follow instruction

tell us if you pass all test successfully

I suffered from your problem when i had a nvidia video card.
since i changed to ATI 9600, i can use printscreen to capture video shots.

anyway, you can use a video player that has the ability t take screenshots,
or use the FFDShow directX filter (http://cutka.szm.sk/ffdshow/) that has an option to take screenshots while playing video from any media player (even windows media player)

I just happen to bump into this site....entitled "Capture Frame Rate, Hardware Acceleration, & System Performance"

http://www.techsmith.com/products/studio/tutorials/1105.2.asp

and as I was reading the article I saw this Note below referring to black screen error.

[Note: Disabling the hardware acceleration is crucial if you want to record videos from a media player such as Windows Mediaplayer, RealPlayer or QuickTime. Otherwise you'll get nothing but a BLANK SCREEN.]

and I think the software that was mentioned here is Camtasia (which is a capturing software), you can read about Camtasia on this website.

ok sorry all for the dealy, but I have running around crazy for this... and I tested my DirectX and all the tests were passed. Screen Capture definitly does not work at all on my keyboard. I will try some of the software mentioned out here and get back to you... don't worry I won't abandon my boards... hehe ;)

Thanks all,

iz.

he said that he will not abandon the thread.......???????

I have tried every way possible. and it doesn't seem to work. Is it because i have an on-board video card on my laptop?

I was facing the same problem in the past.
Use ACA Capture Pro 5.0, it did it well for me.
