Hello,

I am using the SnagIt screen capture tool. Whenever I take a capture of a paused video file, the capture is a black box. I downloaded the video off a website that had a thumbnail of it, so they somehow were able to do it, so I know it's possible? Why won't it work for me? Is there a batter capture program, or does this have to do with codecs?

1st possibility:
Use BSPlayer (P or SHIFT+P)

2nd possibility:
load the video in VirtualDub, go to the frame you want to capture, then CTRL+1. Go now to any imaging software and paste it there.
