The only thing I could think of is going into your computers system and make sure it's on default for color. Do all videos that play on your computer do the same thing? :hypo_h4h:

no, but most of them do.

i got it to take a pic....

Hm... What year is your computer? I can see that the backround is normal, but moving things are messed. I also notice that the backround isn't as sharp as mine. Maby your moniter's messed.

By the way; How do you get pictures like the way you did? I need to learn that...

I would think that probably has more to do with his video card than his monitor.

you mean to take an image of the screen?

Um, ya.... I need to learn more about this "Technology". Please, tell more.

"Print Scrn" Right above your Insert button, then past it in Paint. BTW its not that grainy on my PC, i dont know why it looks that way.

I have internet Explorer, so I don't know where the insert butten is! :idiot:

look on your keyboard, beside backspace and it dosent matter what browser you use. :mf_leprac

:g: Sometimes, when I right click, it shows the option of "Cast snapshot of page", but it needs to be a document... or sumething. Tried it and it took me to google. I have no clue what I'm doing what-so-ever.

It's grainy/wrong looking because you saved it as gif - gifs only have support for websafe colours aka 256 colours and therefore can't produce the 32bit colour spectrum which in otherwords means you are displaying the closest-to-value from the 256 colour pallet.

With that said cause you saved as GIF i do not know if the screen output was exact or messed up due to the limited colours. if you are viewing a perfect negative then most likely you have enabled a negative - if it's screwed up like on the screen you have a corrupted codec or player or you're desktop isn't running on 32bit colours.

also i've never been able to print video streams from a player before with "print screen" when ever i pase it into photoshop i get a black square and if any part of the black square is in the same possition where the video stream is... i get the video on photoshop.

yeah, me too. it's really weird but cool.

Did you purposely set video acceleration in Windows Media Player to none? Because that's the only way you can take screen shots of videos (I *believe*).

In WMP go to "Tools" -> "Options" and click the "Performance" tab, and see where the slider is for "Video Acceleration." If it's at "none" try moving forward.

If this doesn't work, then I really have no idea, that's pretty weird. Does this happen for all formats of videos or only the type you are viewing on that site?

it only happens in WMP, lately i have just been copying the link and opening it in "mplayer2" but i just found the Super Mario Bros Super Show and it wont let me copy the link *goes insane*

Edit: BTW it is set on Full

Wow that's very strange. It allows you to take a screen shot and video acceleration is at full? It might be a video driver problem, try updating your video card drivers.

yeah... i'll get right on that

*hides in corner*

Update you;re windows media player codecs...

I updated the other day and it works now.

No offense but congratulations

i just want to know how to download videos and song and stuff
im a computer illiterate fool who needs help :punk: keep rockin
