Last summer I took my Viento into the local primary school but forgot to take my camera. I now have one of the schools promo vids for this year and it has a pic of my car on it and other pics of the foundation group making a turquoise car from boxes and driving around in it.

I can play the vid in windows media player or real player but would like to capture a picture of my car from it and the kids car.

Tried Ctrl print screen but get a blank screen with no pic.

Any ideas

If you know some one that has final cut pro (mac software) you can capture a still using that and then export that as a jpeg. I have FC pro but as per the previous post I would need the file. I would also imagine that Adobe premier (windows or mac) would be able to the same.

Try GOM player here LINKY

Play video, then Right click screen>Video>Advanced Screen Capture, this lets you capture in JPEG or BMP, burst capture, quality, size, ETC.

Pause it at the right place, then try taking the screenshot....

VLC Media Player will output screen captures very easily and is freeware. Just press Shift-s.

If you download a program called Topaz moment it even does some funky algorythyms to make it look nicer I've used it to whip stills off videos and the quality is top notch. Much better than just pausing and pressing alt/prt-scr etc etc....
