Hi there...

I'm sorry for this question.. I know how annoying they can be, and most of them start the same... as this will do.

I was looking through the memories the other day and couldn't find what I was looking for, and maybe I didn't look at the right places but I couldn't think of anything else.

The thing is, I want to make screencaps, I usually use VLC, but that can be hell to use, since I want to make an animated icon. I saw in one tutorial, some program that is just a screencapping machine (lol), but somehow that doesn't work. It at least doesn't allow me to open whole shows. Oh and it said I needed DirectX 9 or something (or was it 10) but it didn't matter if I installed it again (I had it already) So I downloaded WinDVD but it doesn't show anything, everything is just black (I think it is a coded problem, but I have no idea what codecs I'm missing).. and then I saw somewhere that it is fairly easy to screencap using Media Player classic, but that also wants some other codecs and when I try the site they direct me to, to find the codecs, nothing happens.

So.. the question is, have you any idea what codecs I maybe need or how I can use VLC? (I read sometime a direction how you could do it with VLC, but for the life of me, I can't find it!)..

I hope someone can help, and sorry again...
