Being tired of the situation when you tried to capture video screenshot in a media player using the familiar Print Screen command, what you got when you pasted it somewhere was just a blank image?
If previously we discussed on how to capture video screenshot using Winamp to overcome the same problem, now we’ll turn our attention to Windows Media Player. Here’s how you can capture video screenshot using the built-in software in Windows easily.
Instead of using the convetional Ctrl + Print Screen command to capture the video screenshot, use Ctrl + I to capture it.
Explaination: Windows Media Player has built in function to capture video screenshot that we didn’t need to use another software anymore such as Media Player Classic/ Power DVD to perform similar task. Hence, what you did (pressing Ctrl + I) just now was just a shortcut way of launching the function.

Just for info.
CamStudio is a brilliant piece of free software that captures screen video into avi or flash and provides a great playback facility.

I tried using the control+I command but it still doesn’t work, all I get is the window around the footage but no screenshot at all.
