Guardian of MvC Rep: 74  Joined: 06 Jan 2006 Posts: 44,035 OFFLINE | I’ve been trying to figure out for a while just how to get some high quality screen shots from movie files such as AVI and MPEG. I’ve tried putting the movie on full screen and using the print screen button, however it doesn’t work. Every time I paste the image into Photoshop it screws up. The only thing I have currently to do it right is VLC media player, but I’m not satisfied with the small size of the image.
Are there any really good programs I could get that would allow me to take large, high quality screen shots? Thanks in advance for your help.

If you think that will sacrifice quality by resizing it, it won’t. VLC takes the screenshot at a certain size, resizing it will give the same image as if it were fullscreen in vlc player, trust me.
Or you can put on a pair of magnifying glasses.
So, I gave you three options to make the image look bigger. Do i hear a thankyou?

romano Guest | Media Player Classic WILL do just fine, you can also make a thumbnailpage (index) of the movie
