WMP6 doesn't seem to allow for capturing stills from playing media.
For once googling found something quickly for me, BSPlayer at
http://www.webattack.com/get/bsplayer.html that does support frame
capture. All attempts to capture images from playing media when
playing video with WMP6 using external capture methods have yielded
results that are too delayed (video capture that I have) vs black
screen capture (keyboard print screen + freeware PrintKey).

But BSPlayer souds just to good to be true. For 1078 kb, I get all of
this:

"BSplayer is a Windows player that plays back all kinds of media files
( avi/mpg/asf/wmv/wav/mp3/OGM...) and specializes in video and Divx
playback. It provides extensive support for subtitles, a resizable
movie window, resolution changing, desktop mode playback, frame
capture and more. In addition, it offers Pan-scan and custom pan-scan
options, bookmarks, adjustable playback rate, Drag & drop support and
many other features. The interface is skinnable and comes with several
different design to choose from. BSPlayer can be associated with all
(or selected) files types that are supported."

Wow, now doesn't that sound too good to be true??!! Of course, I'm
hoping it is exactly what it claims - good app but that also isn't a
nasty. Has anyone tried it out at all that can comment?

Thanks!

BSPlayer is one of the best nedia players out there. capturing frames is just two
clicks away. the desktop mode play is one of the coolest (though not too practical)
features i've seen in a player. download it. you won't be dissapointed

Yes, it is fantastic. It certainly showed a better picture than my
WMP6. And once I went to the forum to check out why I wasn't getting
video capture and fixed things easily and quickly in options, was able
to cap my movie.

YIKES! I didn't realize I'd hit the "P" button so often. I got 726
caps from the film!!!! Thank goodnes they're small in size and only
come to 18 megs total! Phew, gotta watch it, then, with BSPlayer.
It's too easy to get those caps <g>!

It felt very much like watching a DVD in PowerDVD. Same types of
controls and the player is skinnable. Very cool. I'd recommend it to
anyone.

Oh, forgot to mention, small dl for what you get and if you dl the
zip, NO INSTALL!! Gotta love all of this!

Yes, BSP is the best videoplayer, but there is strong competition named MV2
Player or MV2P:
http://mv2.czweb.org/

They are same players in functions, they are freeware but what's reason why
I'm still at BSP and not at MV2P are antialiased subtitles. But there are
many thinks which I don't like at BSP (e.g. absence of normal
minimalization, can't open subtitles with extension which he don't like (off
course is still possible to press * and open subtitles, but it's not very
comfortable and few other things). I don't like BSP, I like MV2P, but BSP is
the best videoplayer which exist and I can't do anything against it. :-)

Thank you, really appreciate your feedback. Feels good to have
stumbled upon something quite wonderful. But if you like the other
app better, it's intriguing me. I'll check it out.

Cheers! :oD
