i have rmvb movie file and i want to capture a screenshot from it.
i tried to do it with the option Save Image but it gave error message (media player classic).
i tried also print screen button but it didnt do anything.

can anyone help me ?

VLC player. Will do the job. Check it out

well if even that does not work then do it in maximised mode not full screen .. as print screen will neve work on full screen

simply use power dvd and press c to capture.

Use Virtualdub it work great.

If you are using Windows XP, try Windows Movie Maker ! It works fine with most movie files, and is quite simple to use.

i did it using realplayer (used it because the video file is rmvb).
while playing the video with realplayer i clicked the "print screen" button (on the keyboard) and it captured it.
