video players / how to capture images from video files

(1/2) > >>

Hi,

while I prefer to use http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/Zoom_Player_Standard/978385825/1 to view video files (lots and lots of options to control the player with mouse, scroll wheel and keyboard) I needed to try other players to capture an image from a video file.

I tried http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/VLC_VideoLAN_for_Windows/1034861925/1 which has a "Snapshot" option but didn't really let me get a captured image.

Then I tried http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/BSPlayer/973752711/1 and finally found what I was looking for: just right-click the video --> Options --> Capture frame. BSPlayer will save the images in its own folder.

I use often VLC, and I used it to get snapshot from videos.
Don't really recall the detailed steps (I'm not on my PC now), but it's definitely possible.

Bye!

brotherS:
Would be nice if you could add the VLC details for that later :)

Mark0:
Sure, count on it! :)

Bye!

OK, just checked with version 0.8.2.
Taking a screenshot is super easy, just go to Video - Snapshot.
The saved files goes to the "My Pictures" folder.
To set various parameters (Format, recording ratio, filename prefix), go to Preferences - Video - Output modules - Image file.

Bye!
