Taking a Screenshot

[PSgamer262]

Does anyone know how to take a screenshot of a video using 'print scrn'? whenever I do and paste it into Paint, it's just black... is there any other way?

lets see there is one simple way called: http://www.fraps.com/

print scrn is all I know, and for some reason it doesn't work on RealOne. It might not work on other video players but I haven't tried it on there, one reason being theres an easier way to do it on Quicktime.

My friends over at http://driver.theextremenetwork.com have posted some new screenshots of actual in game (map, health bars and all), looks really good, not the same old map from D2 and 1 or bars, gives it a fresher look. I guess they didn't want people to think it looked too much like Driver 2 and not want it. But it looks good anyway.

Finally, I've been waiting for some actually in game shots. The meters the map and the little gun icon all look great! Every thing looks really good! Can't wait til this game comes out.

WOW!!! Thanks, exactly what I had hoped for!!!!, The in-game looks just like the reply. Amazing, simply Amazing!!! All developers should put the time and dedication into their respected franchises, look what you get. However they should not reveal them at least until 8 months of the release, 1 year max!

I think (and I base this on absolutely nothing) the icons on the maps are the enterable buildings, almost 1 per block if it is that. Also some might not be marked for smaller places that would just clutter the map if you put an icon on there for every little shack thats enterable.

GREAT!!! love the maps! only downside is where are the peds. maybe since there working on walking and running animations, they took them out to work on them and when their done the final version, they will put them back in.

I seem like the only one but I don't mind empty streets. They'll probably have some peds on their in the final version. I wonder if there'll be any in the demo.

It's something to do with Video Overlay mode. Don't ask me how it works, but if you want to play a video and take screenshots of it, use Windows Media Player or Winamp and turn off Video Overlay Mode. Screenshots will then work as normal. I don't know if you can turn off Overlays in Real or Quicktime.

In WMP go to Tools -> Options -> Performance -> Advanced.

Is that how you take videos of whats on screen? Or just pics?

see this (http://www.mvps.org/marksxp/WindowsXP/wmp.php) for windows media =)

...which is one way of turning off overlay mode, yes.

matt, this (http://www.riverpast.com/en/prod/screenrecorder/) will record videos of what's on screen. :)
