Everyone known how to take picture from a video such as Snark gif from a BMS by a member from forum?
Press PrntScrn SysRq which is supposed to be next to F12, then paste it in a program like MS Paint or Photoshop.
FONG GRAMMAR STRIKES AGAIN
Do you want a gif or do you want a single frame?
AND LEARN FUCKING ENGLISH ALREADY OR DONT POST, YOUR SENTENCES ARE LIKE MIND FUCKS.
gif or single frame? Both!
:rolleyes:
EMFDYSI?
There’s a forum member with an animated gif of the snark being ‘walked’ by Gordon, taken from the vid on the YouTube channel. He’s wondering how to do the same thing. I think.
If you don’t like his posts just ignore him. You don’t need to be an asshole about it.
ASSHOLE 
Taking a frame from a gif can be done with printscreen, and paste in paint
Taking the whole gif can be done with right-clicking it, save as…
Taking a frame from a VIDEO is tricky… not sure about youtube vids, but if you try to printscreen a video playing on your computer, and paste in an image editing program, you’ll have surprises :o
Can anyone explain to me why that happens, by the way?
If you don’t know what I’m talking about, try it out
Basically you just see the video through your paint program. It just gives you some kind of frame, and you see through the program’s window, it’s really weird.
That’s because you use XP 
. IIRC it’s a sort of protection system, and only WMP has it. If you try to take a picture from WMPC or YouTube it works. But on Vista you can take a picture from anywhere and it works.
It did the same with WMPC, actually. Could be a codec thing.
And if it only came out black, I would believe the protection thing, but it does something that appears completely illogical… It’s like if the content of the DC it copies is only a reference to the actual DC in the codec decoder… or something… That doesn’t seem to make sense to me, though.
WMPC actually has a ‘grab frame’ feature that takes a proper screenshot.
Edit: Oh yeah, did I mention that if the video is playing, the image in Paint (or wherever you pasted it) will also be animated? That’s fucked up, really.
There’s a certain program you use to do it.
You import the video, choose your desired frame rate and image quality and then export.
Unless you want to screen cap every single frame and paste it into fireworks one by one.
Total Video Converter. If you tell me which YouTube video to use and at what time points I can make a gif for you =]

It’s not protection, you need to learn some computer history, there was a time when computers were too slow to play videos, so the awesome programmers of that time invented the “overlay” that allows hardware outside of the processor to decode mpeg or mpeg2 (now known as the video card) and play the video in a separate layer while the real desktop remains non-moving to save CPU cycles.
The obvious limitation is that you can’t print screen, since the overlay is invisible to the OS, also if there’s shadows or GLASS on top of the overlay, you see an ugly black border, that’s why there’s no more overlays in vista and that’s why your videos will look pixelated unless you use the high-quality mode.
I would go on about how I hate vista but honestly I’m not using overlays anymore, media player classic has options that make videos look alot better while not using that much more CPU power.
Shame on me then. But what is this function to make videos look better? Because I use WMPC for videos.
I hope you don’t mean WMP, cuz WMP sucks, if you’re talking about media player classic, first of all it’s not made by microsoft, it’s open source, anyway it’s partly the output options where you can select VMR9 (renderless) and second thing I use is ffdshow’s awesome video encoding options, in ffdshow you can tweak the postprocessing effects, picture properties, etc until your video looks good enough or (in your case) until your CPU starts lagging.
I use fraps imo. Works with like any movie thingy.
Okay. And yeah I meant Media Player Classic, it’s just that I thought it was an old version of WMP.
that’s cuz fraps is designed to detect overlays or other directX code and count the frames per second, also allowing you to capture frames or video.
I think if you disabled overlays fraps would not detect the video anymore, but sometimes it still does.
Well, on windows 98, the media player looked exactly like WMPC. They probably just used the same design and made it from scratch, though. Microsoft’s old media player didn’t have half the features the ‘modern’ WMPC has
The BEST converter in the world and it’s FREEWARE.
Sadly it’s not very well know and download speeds are rather slow, not to mention the website is a bloody maze to navigate.
SUPER converter, it literally converts almost every media format.
Easy direct download
I ran the video through the GIF converter
