Hey I am having trouble making screen shots.. I play my movie, and hit print screen, but when I paste it into photoshop, it's not the complete picture, and as well it won't resize prperly, it's resizing the canvas not the image.. I dont know why this is doing this its never happened before, it is because it's a movie that I am triny to screen shot, or am i crazy?

XD Haha, no, you're not crazy. I don't know what program you're using, but if it's Windows Media Player, you need to go into Tools > Options > Performance and set the video acceleration bar to "none". (You can also try pressing Ctrl+I instead of Print Screen, or going to Tools > Options > Performance > Advanced and uncheck the 'use overlays' button -- I haven't tried either of those before, but I'm told they work.) If you're using a different program, you'll probably have to Google it. (Just as a side note, I don't know why, but every time I take a screenshot with *any* program it seems like the resolution gets stretched out to 720x480 instead of 640x480, so watch out for that.)

Or you could download VLC Media Player. It's free and it has built-in image capture. *not bothering with print screen at all when it comes to videos anymore - well, except when using Veoh or Youtube*
