• Video Player capture

For Videos played by Media Player, most people will immediately think of using the print screen button on the keyboard. In fact, in Windows 98/XP, some mainstream video formats, such. * I ,. WMV ,. MPEG ,. to perform operations on rmvb during playback, you can only capture the player, but cannot capture the image being played. A few "experts" know that video capturing requires playback software support, you can also use special image capture software instead of using the print screen button. Why? Here, we use an operation instance to smash the video's "window paper ".
Start a playback software, such as Windows Midia player, to play a video file. Then, start another playback software, such as storm audio and video, to play the video file you want to capture. When a screenshot needs to be captured, press the print screen button to save the video image to the system clipboard. Then, you can start a graphic editing software, for example, for "Drawing" in Windows, you can use the "Paste" command in the software to view the captured image. Finally, you can use the "Drawing" tool to crop the image.
In this case, the video is successful. Why? Originally, during video playback, the system often calls DirectDraw to accelerate video playback. Because of the special nature of DirectDraw, you cannot press the print screen button. However, we cannot open two DirectDraw windows at the same time using Windows. We can see that the first Windows Midia player started uses DirectDraw, so the image cannot be captured, however, since the former enables DirectDraw, the former does not start DirectDraw any more, so the video image can be captured successfully.
Knowing the principle is easy to operate. Do you still find any special software for capturing video images?
QQ has a dynamic function used to capture video images. I have never seen the latter software, but I don't know it. However, you can use the search function to search for a piece of extension, for example *. JPEG *. BMP *. GIF *. JPG
The best software is hprsnap5!
During RealONE playback, the image cannot be captured. If you do not believe it, try it first and press printscreen. Open the drawing and paste it to see that the screen is black!
If you want to play the video, you can use the MPC player and set it to the correct mode! If you must be in RealONE and RealPlayer, you certainly won't be able to. You should first turn on real tools, preferences, and hardware to minimize the compatibility of video cards, you can directly capture the graph! If not, the acceleration of the video card in the desktop properties is disabled, and the merging is also disabled. Use real to release the video !!
Disable "video acceleration ".
Take Windows Media Player 9.0 As an example. Select "Tools> options" and find "video acceleration" in the "performance" tab, then, drag the lever below to change the default "finish" to "NONE", Press "OK" to save the settings, and then open the required video to be normal, so that no black screen will appear.
1. playback software
Powerdvd, super decoding, Kingsoft film overlord, and so on all have the image capture function.
2. Use specialized software (such as hypersnap-dx)
Note that the DX series version must support DirectX. if the version is too old, you need to upgrade it.
In addition, you need to select "DirectX/direct3d primary surface" and "DirectX overwrite" from "Capture-> enable special capture" on the main menu. Otherwise, the screenshot may be black. If you cannot figure it out, simply select all options.
3. Use the print screen key of windows.
Generally, this key is used to capture a piece of black, because it is invalid for DirectX by default. Of course, this problem can be solved through settings: click "run" in the "Start" menu of windows to run Program After dxdiag.exe, click "Disable" DirectShow hardware acceleration on the "display" page, and then press the print screen key. After the screenshot is completed, "Start" the hardware acceleration. The following replies are illustrated.
The image captured by pressing the print screen key is saved in the clipboard. You need to start the image editing software such as paint brush or Photoshop and paste it out.
4. Use the print screen key of Windows (dual player screenshot)
It is to first enable a player, such as Windows Media Player, to stop a single film, do not disable the player, and then enable another player, such as RealONE, in this way, you can use the print screen key on the keyboard to capture the RealONE graph. This principle is actually the same as method 3.
Use print screen to open the drawing program (start -- program -- nearby -- drawing) and press Ctrl + V or edit -- paste. Then you can see the picture you cut.
Video experts
Today, it is rare to take a few pictures of the film that was taken at Hong Kong Disneyland at home. Immediately think of using the "print screen" key. However, there is nothing except a dark one during the operation. Disappointed ~~
I also want to use software, or some playback software to support, or even video editing software to make a frame of image. Open AE. The material cannot be imported because the format AE does not recognize it ~~ Because the obtained films are in the VCD format. Neither can this be. Isn't the "print screen" key used for video? Wrong. It does. The solution is really cool, haha ~~ Enable the two playing software and play the video at the same time. Press this key to display the video on the desktop on the clipboard. Demon !!
The main steps are as follows:
1. Start a playback software, such as Windows Midia player, to play a video file at will;
2. Start another playback software, RealONE, to play the video file you want to capture.
3. When a screenshot needs to be captured, press the print screen button to save the video image
In the unified clipboard
4. Start a graphic editing software, such as "Drawing" and "Photoshop", and use the "Paste" command in the software.
To see the captured image.
Why? The main reasons are as follows:
1. DirectDraw is often called to accelerate video playback. Due to the special nature of DirectDraw, you cannot press the print screen button.
2. You cannot open two DirectDraw windows at the same time in windows.
3. We can first start Windows Midia player, which uses DirectDraw and cannot capture images. In contrast, once the DirectDraw is started, storm audio and video won't be started any more.
Basically, no one will think of this complexity. Haha, it's enough.
Dynamic Video Method
Yesterday, when several Rm-format video images were required to be captured, and the print screen key on the keyboard was used to capture the video in the player, the captured image was usually a black screen image.
I searched several software online, including GTN image grabber Chinese Green Edition, which can be used but cannot be in RM format. <SPAN class = J * ascript id = text22852> hypersnap-dx, this doesn't work either. There are some other issues, such as frameshots video frame capture and snagit, which cannot intercept images in RM format. After a long time, I finally found two available images: gom player and dragon god movie player.
<SPAN class = J * ascript> the longshen movie player does not need to be installed and can be directly used after download. It is relatively simple and has fewer functions.
<SPAN class = J * ascript> the large window in the middle is the video being played. The smaller picture in the lower part is the picture of the video being played.
Gom player is a famous Korean player and has been published in the Chinese version. Supports all existing video formats (RM, rmvb, mpg, m1v, m2v, vob, ASF, WMA, WMV, * I, DivX, OGM, MKV, MP4, ifo ).
Gom player needs to be installed. Follow the prompts to install it. After installation, it is only a dozen MB :).
It has more comprehensive functions,
Today, I saw some people mention the following method. I tried it. It is also feasible, but I don't think it is as convenient as the first two methods. The whole screen has to be captured and modified in the drawing.
Start Windows Media Player, Click Tools> options, and select the performance tab in the Options dialog box, note the following video acceleration options (for example ). By default, full video acceleration is enabled for Windows (recommended). You can set video acceleration to "NONE" and press "OK" to close the dialog box.
Hero also has functions. He doesn't like to use this software, so he didn't try it.
Today, I used QQ's "screen capture" function to capture static video images. When I was collecting related methods last time, I saw someone say that I used QQ to capture video images. Today, when I used Gomplayer to capture the stills of "no trace", I found that the images were not good, blurred, and lazy, if you don't want to change the settings or adjust the image size, you just want to try QQ. Hoho is more convenient.

Video Player capture

Video Playing On Windows machine, no matter if it comes from a movie file, Internet, VCD or DVD, can not be captured by regular screen capture methods, because it is usually playing in hardware overlay. the overlay it almost as if there was another, smaller screen in front of your regular Windows desktop screen. the desktop contains in that place only the so called "overlay Key Color"-a solid block of color, usually black, blue, Magenta or pink, but it can be anything.

A regular screen capture program will capture just that key color, which gives you a funny effect-if your movie is still playing, and your captured that key color into hypersnap (or any other software) window, and you move that window so that it partly covers the movie player-you will see the movie through the part where this key color was. it seems as if your hypersnap window had a "hole" and the movie shows through it. this is because the overlay hardware controller is programmed to display that movie everywhere where that key color is on the desktop.

How to deal with this problem? There are two methods. in some movie players (e.g. windows Media Player, Real Player) You may disable "Hardware acceleration" through their "Settings" or "options" menu. this turns off the overlay use, the movie is played then normally, within Windows desktop and every screen capture program can get it.

Another way to turn off overlay use for video playback on most system is to disable "Hardware acceleration" of your graphics controller in the following way:

1. Right click empty Windows screen, select "properties" from the menu

2. Click "Settings" tab

3. Click "advanced" button

4. Click "troubleshoot" tab

5. Move the "Hardware acceleration" Slider all the way to "NONE" and click OK buttons to close all "Display Properties" dialog boxes.

6. If your media player was running, close it completely and restart. Now play your movie and try to capture them with any capture method or tool.

When finished with captures, you may want to restore "hardware acceleration" back to what it was before.

The other method(If you can't or don't want to disable the overlay) Try to use hypersnap "special capture" method, described below:

The video capture will work or not, depending on which Video Player software you are using, and if it uses DirectX or not. Here is the correct movie/DVD capture procedure to follow:

2. Enable "special capture" in hypersnap under "capture" menu. Click on that item and make sure that DirectX "primary" and "overlay" surfaces are turned on. Then click on OK button.
4. Run the movie/DVD player, pause the movie where you want to capture, click on the player window to make sure it is the front window, then press scroll Lock key (hypersnap special capture hot key ).
6. Click on hypersnap window and see what was captured. If you don't see the movie picture there, most probably your DVD player software does not use DirectX.
8. If you do see a picture in hypersnap window, but it has incorrect proportions, or maybe is also repeated several times, please crop and scale image to correct proportions with the functions available under "image" menu. if you must make a lot of such DVD captures, you may set the "quick crop & scale" function under the "capture/capture Settings" menu in hypersnap to perform this cropping and scaling automatically on each captured image. it will let you to auto-crop each image you capture (so that only one image remains) and then scale it to correct proportions. please don't forget to turn this "quick... "function off when done with DVD captures and trying to do regular Windows screen shots.
10. If the above does not work (you still get a full screen capture with some solid color where the DVD was, your DVD player program does not use DirectX, so hypersnap can not capture from it.
