Grabing a screenshot from Window Media Player is not so easy as it seems. Yesterday I tried to use the extremely useful screen capture by ‘Print Screen Key’<\/a> to try to capture a wmv running file on my Windows media player classic V10. But whenever I tried to use the print screen, a blank image was captured from the windows media player.<\/p>\n

Then I thought maybe the running video was posing a problem with capturing a frame. So I paused the movie and tried the print screen technique. But still got a blank screen.<\/p>\n

Then I tried to capture paused and running movies in full screen (Full screen shortcut – using Alt+Enter). But again no luck.<\/p>\n

So I decided to tweak some advanced options of Window media player. After lot of different combinations of tweaks, still had no luck.<\/p>\n

Looking to buy a professional multimedia software to do the job? There are several shareware and paid professional image capture software<\/strong> available which can do the job. But why should I pay when I should try to get a freeware or get a tweak to fix it myself. I tried to see how professional paid software’s for this worked, but I was disappointed the moment I captured the screenshot. It had a big logo on every image it captured. Of course it was shareware and you needed to pay to remove the text messages.<\/p>\n
