Images can be captured from a DVD being played by Windows Media Player?

============================================
It may be possible (depending on the version of WMP but
It is much easier if you use VLC Media Player: it will capture
just the screen video and save it in an image format in a folder
of your choice.

(FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
Restore point before installing software or updates)

VLC Media Player (32-bit)
http://www.filehippo.com/download_vlc_32/
(works on XP/Vista/7)
(the name of the file to download is: vlc - 2.0.4 - win32.exe)

VLC Media Player (64-bit)
http://www.filehippo.com/download_vlc_64/
(the name of the file to download is: vlc - 2.0.4 - win64.exe)
(FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
Restore point before installing software or updates)

For the installer for your screen Capture... Open VLC and
Reach... Tools / Preferences / video button / video
Instant image section.

In the directory field... Search for and select a folder
to save your captures po (for example... you could
Create a new folder on your desktop and select)

TO... Prefix... check the box... Sequential numbering.

TO... Format, choose JPEG or PNG.

Finally... on the left, click on the Save"" button.

Now... Play the video and pause by pressing on your
SPACEBAR when you see an image you want to capture.

(Tip: you can play a video in VLC by right-clicking the)
video clip and choose... in the menu «Play witn VLC»
Media Player')

To capture the image... type...  SHIFT + S

Press the SPACEBAR to advance the video... ect... etc...
(also... you can left click / drag the seek bar left or right)
to reposition the video).

I noticed if you click file, and then manage libraries, and then the music lets me add my Ext. harddrive (e drive) to the library list. on a computer it support of new music and videos found on the hard drive, on two computers it just music, so I downloaded a song and a video on the hard drive, plugged into the computer and media player says that it has been updated of library, and yet there they never found the new files. Why have they changed? XP was so easy. new is not always better!

  • How can TV 31RL938 - I find installation key for PC-Windows Media Player

    To watch DVD from PC - Windows Media Center (Windows 8) on my TV (31RL938, without fire related to the internet), I have to do an Extender installation with the Media Center on my PC (the TV symbol is on my PC).
    That's why I have to put in an installation key (8 digits), which should be on my TV / Extender by choosing 'Windows Media Center' here.

    But how can I find it?

    Thanks for the help!

    Have you managed that?

    To my knowledge the two devices; your TV and your PC must be connected to the same network: in my case its home WLan.

    I don t use Media Center, but I made the connection with Windows Media Player.
    Using the Media Player I can listen to the video and music to my TV or stereo receiver...

  • You want to transfer music from the computer's library to Windows Media Player. Don't know why some downloaded music goes to the library and other music goes to Media Player.

    To sort music between library computer and Media Player? How pay you the difference? I download music from Windows Media Player, but some files go to the library of the computer and do not show up in Media Player...?

    Hi Phoenixshadows1956,

    The music, videos and pictures libraries windows point to the files that store the files of real media on your computer. The Player library simply contains links to multimedia files, but gives you greater control of how you organize and use your digital media content than the Windows folders do.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/Windows-Media-Player-library-frequently-asked-questions

    You question default save location. The default save location determines where an item is stored when it copied, moved or stored in the library. Access the link below to learn more about customizing a library.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/customize-a-library

    You can use Windows Media Player Library to organize your entire digital media collection on your computer, including music, videos and photos. Access the link to learn more about how to manage and add items to the Windows Media Player library.
