How do you make stills off your computer? I know this has been asked before but I can't find the thread.

What I do is you play the movie in Quicktime, then PAUSE at a good part, and copy and paste that into PAINT and save it.

CAREFUL -- it's addicting.

there's a "print screen" button on the top right section of the keyboard too...that works

here's my stupid question...

When I play movies from U2.com, I can't play them in the Quicktime player installed on my computer. They will only play in the U2.com player and you can't copy and past from there. What am I doing wrong?

This happens to me all the time...
I found out how to look in the source code and find the direct .mov link and open it in quicktime..
the link to the movies you use usually looks like desire.u2.com/quicktime/
that's their direct server address
the name at the end of that looks like
u2_title(like "ground)_(then the connection setting)med.html

the final address should look something like: http://desire.u2.com/quicktime/u2_ground_med.html

it's a really complicated process
hoped that helped a little

Argh, I use realplayer (all my vids are on it) and when I pause it, it won't let me copy... and when I hit print screen and paste into paint I just get a black screen....

Hmmm....I didn't know about this.

I think I'm gonna try this when I get home from work. See if I can get some quality U2 and Pearl Jam pics.

I still can't figure this out. My Quicktime tells me it can't read mpegs, only .movie files. Do I have to convert or should I download a new version?

You need to get a higer version on Quicktime. I can play Mpegs on mine, but I can't figure out how to paste it into my paint program. Do I need a specific paint program? I have Photoshop 6.0.

HAHAHA!!

I just answered my own question!

I opened MSpaint and went to edit, then paste.
WHOOHOO!!! Let the pic saving begin!

uh, here's what *I* do
load the movie from U2.com, then go look in your temporary internet files folder (which is in the windows folder). It oughta be the very last thing in there, or close to it. Cut&paste it somewhere else. When you go to play it in quicktime, the U2.com media player thing will still be there but you can cut that out in paint, or the program of your choice.

ok, first I was gone fer a week during mid-winter break 'cause I was skiing in Lake Tahoe.
I come back, go on PLEBA fer a while and surf the net. A day later explorer takes over my old FAT32 system and causes the computer to crash. So then I've gotta reformat the whole hard drive to NT format. Then I gotta re-install all the programs. Luckily I didn't lose my U2 pics 'cause 1) I backed them all up on Zip disks, and 2) I was able to move my folder to my second hard drive while I reformatted the old one to NT, and then move the folder back
Now I'm VERY happy that I switched to NT and so is me dad. NT is much more stabler than FAT32.

anyway, I back! and happy 'bout that too!

I was thinking the same thing when I read her post. OK, it was more like yay Phuzzie's back, but close enough. LOL!
Glad to see you're back.
I don't have anything contsructive to add cause I don't know how to make stills either! ~Jen

 

[elevatedmole]

Just wanted to add something here..

There is some kind of thing you can buy that can take stills off your TV and is much higher quality. (bigger, clearer, less blurry) I don't know how you get one, however, or how it works.
