Problem making screencaps
I'm having a major problem trying to make screencaps. I made some easily enough recently from a small mpeg file (using printscreen and pasting into Photoshop 7).
However, most of the time my screencaps aren't saving properly. I've been trying to cap from DVD's, playing on either InterActual Player, PowerDVD or Windows Media Player. I've also attempted to take caps from QuickTime. I've used the printscreen option and I've tried SnagIt. But I get the same odd result. I capture and save a picture (I've tried saving as jpeg's and bitmaps), but when I go to open the file it simply shows whatever is on that screen at the moment of opening the file, not what I captured. The same happens if I copy and paste it into Photoshop. Also, if I move the saved file around, the internal picture moves around. However, if I use print screen, only the DVD picture moves from the full screen capture: the details around the picture don't move.
Can anyone make sense of this? Any suggestions?
