Screen caps
I was wondering what you/anyone else uses for screen caps. I have the movie files in .m4a format purchased on iTunes. Thanks.--Bob 03:10, 4 April 2007 (EDT)
- I have the files in iTunes, but I don't really use them for capping. The quality is OK but it's too hard to get a particular frame. What I do instead is transfer the files off my Tivo, convert 'em to divx, and use VirtualDub, which is pretty amazing stuff. You can apply dozens of filters with live previews for anything from de-watermarking and resizing to gamma correction, and you can step through about a dozen ways (frame by frame, key frames, etc.), including the jog dial on the mouse. You can even create clips and export them as frames or animated gifs. I cannot recommend it enough, but it definitely works best with AVIs. It does work nicely with most of the files off the P2P networks, but I personally find their quality to be a total crapshoot.--Hardvice (talk) 03:16, 4 April 2007 (EDT)
- Gotcha. I don't have Tivo, so I guess I'll just add something to the image request. Thanks though.--Bob 03:24, 4 April 2007 (EDT)
- If you do want to get a cap out of iTunes, you can either use ALT+Print Screen and paste the image into an image editor, or use the "set poster frame" option from the right-click menu in iTunes and copy/paste that into an image program. (Sometimes ALT+Print Screen has trouble grabbing video if hardware acceleration is turned on, but the poster frame trick in iTunes should still work.)--Hardvice (talk) 04:55, 4 April 2007 (EDT)
- Everytime I try that, it never works. I just assumed it was a DRM issue. Same with WMP.--Bob 05:00, 4 April 2007 (EDT)
