OK, easy : Open media player, go to menu Tools->Options->Performance.
Choose "Advanced" button, make sure "Use video mixing renderer" is
chosen, and "Use high quality mode" (*not* use overlays) is checked.
Now you can screen-cap the player. Start your video, pause at the
point you want to capture. Press & hold the Shift button then while
held down, press the PrtScrn button (usually just above the insert and
home keys on your keyboard). Ever wondered what that did ?
OK, open some image editor, such as Paint. Now you can press Ctrl+V
(or choose Paste from the menu). You have a screenshot of the player.
Crop the image using the image editor tools - in Paint you'd have to
use the Select tool to outline the image area you want, copy + paste
that into a *new* paint document.
Finally, Save-As JPEG and the job's done.
HTH
Cheers - Neil
