I want to take a screen shot of a video file. I have it up on my Windows Media Player right now. How do I take this screen shot?

I can't verify that this works, but its free, and doesn't involve installing anything so its worth a try.

"So here is my free and simple way to capture Images from Windows Media Player

Open Window Media Player
Then go to Tools>Options
In Options, select the Performance Tab
Way below you click on the Advanced Button
Uncheck "Use Overlays'
Click Ok
And you are ready. "

If you can load the video in a program for playing DVDs, the "C" key usually captures the screen to your clipboard. Then you can fire up your graphics proggie and <ctrl-v> will give you what you are looking for.

A lot of DVD players won't let you do that.

yeah, it just appears as a black square normally if you try print screen

yeH and if you play the DVD that black square starts showing the movie. It's pretty weird.
