Question:

How do I make my own screen-caps?  Do I need a special program or can I do it from Windows Media Player?  Help please, I would love to have my own means of doing it instead of relying on other websites.  

Thanks!

ETA: Thanks for all the tips, but I have it now.  Thank you all again!

To get screecaps from avi and other video files I use a media player called BSplayer, while watching the video you press "p" to make a screencap! It's lovely! To get screencaps from dvds I use Cyberlink PowerDVD which also has a key for screencapping ("c")!

Thanks, very much! So many people use their own caps, I almost feel left out! Good to know.

Wanted to say thank you again, now I can make my own screen caps and icons and animated icons! Can't wait, thanks a bunch!

I use a program called VirtualDub (http://www.virtualdub.org/download) to take my screencaps for me. You just load the video, set up the frame rate and off it goes. Well, it's a bit more detailed than that, so if you decide to use it, feel free to ask any questions. :D

Just so I don't seem like a random drive-by commentor(er?), I saw a link on who_daily and wanted to check out your icons. :D

No problem, and thanks!

I do it from Windows Media Player. Pause on the shot you want, then press Control + I. A Save window should show up, and you can save your picture!
