A program to take full screen screenshots when a Video is running

[Ahiga]

There's a peculiar issue involving print-screening to screenshot a video. For the oddest reason, perhaps out of fear of piracy or something, you take a screenshot of a black screen and depending on where you move the screenshot within the confines of the image's canvas, the video willstay in the same area, and even continue to play. Basically, it's impossible to take a screenshot of any moving video.

I'm hoping to run the Kingdom of heaven DVD and take some screenshots for our modelers, but so far the only program that lets me do that is FRAPS, and for some odd reason the screenshot it takes when I run it in a certain DVD player is scrunched up. I'm looking for a program that will let me take a full resolution screenshot of what is on screen during a video, and let me save it and send it out.

Does anyone know of such a program?


Edit: nevermind, I've come across methods to do so.

Programs like VLC will have a screenshot key that you can use.

The reason that you can't just 'take a screenshot' is because of the way that the video overlay works.

Google "screen recorder". You'll find both free software and software that costs money... Most of the have a snapshot feature that works great for capturing single video frames... I use Bülents Screen Recorder (free version). It places a logo in the corners of both stills and video, but that can easily be Photoshopped away...
