How the heck do I do a screen capture on Real Player
 

I've tried just doing a "print screen" by using that key, next to scroll lock, but when I do it all I get is a black screen in the realplayer frame.

ARGHHHHH!!!

How do I do this right????

Screen Capture....
 

You need to download a screen capture program.......i used to have one...but now i cant remember than name of it....

EDIT:

You need a program like Hyper Snap

Re: How the heck do I do a screen capture on Real Player
 

I don't know why it didn't work for you. I was able to do a PrtScr (actually I did Alt+PrtScr which captures only the active window instead of the entire screen) and then paste it into Windows Paint.

It has to do with the way that real player outputs the video to the screen and the way that the screen capture captures it. I had it explained to me once, and it made sense then, but I can't remember it all now.

What you need to do is to turn off the optimized video display in real player. This is in the preferences/hardware section in Real One. I remember seeing a similar setting somewhere in the older Real Player.

i think the program is called

Hypersnap DX (or something like that)

Im pretty sure its freeware

Hope this helps

All video players use a black screan to "project" on. If you took a picture of a movie screan at your movie theater (with flash on) you would see the screan, if any of the film. So when you screan capture on a new player, it will show that. I tried it with my PowerDVD player, it didn't work. ]

ughhhh Don't even get me started on Power DVD, it crashes constantly on my computer!

I got a new computer, but it keeps locking me out of movies that are rated! I can't even see a "G" Rated movie!

Converting RealAudio stream to MP3?
 

On a similar note, does anyone know of any tools that will allow me to "record" a portion of a realaudio stream and save it as an MP3 or similar common format? I would like to save our matches from NYC so I can have them to use in future promos, etc...

--or-- Does anyone know where I can get a video copy of NYC?

Thanks,
Patrick

Don't you mean MPEG instead of MP3? I think MP3 is only for audio. MPEG is for video along with AVI, RAM, QT and such!

As for recording, I have no idea, I think there is some way to hook up your computer to your tv/vcr and record it that way but again, I have never tried that either; why bother on a dial up connection where the video sucks most of the time anyways.

vcr/ why not just use your hd?
Only 4.6 meg or so a minute at 80kbps. 281 meg a hour.
At the 220kpbs I was usally at it would be 12.8 meg a minute and 773 meg an hour.
Nice cable modem. Large harddrive. Why bother with a vcr?
Now...to find a program to record a realvideo stream...
