Hit the Print Screen button?

you can't using the print screen button because the video will play forward in paint ..  If you open a file in virtual dub mod, you can make screenshots with the printscreen button It's the only way I know

it play on because theres like another layer of the screen (not literally) that the video plays in...

??? How can a video play in Paint?
Print Screen takes a dump of the frame currently being displayed and puts it in memory.

try it. i know what he means, its why i cant you the print screen button... it doesnt take a picture of the frame....press play and the video will play in the media player and probably in paint (might be black box...move the media player to where the box is and you should see the video wen u bring paint forward...)

I don't know   when I hit the print screen button in media player en past it in paint.. it just plays on (only when it's playing in media player) and when I stop the media player than It turns in a black screen in paint...

So that's why I came up with virtualdubmod that will work

Edit: just like may73alliance says

One word of advice about VirtualDubMod is that when rendering the more classical MPEG streams like DVDs, .mpg and .mpeg (the MPEG-2 streams) it can take a while to render on some computers for dubing so you can take images. It's qucicker with the more modern stuff like MPEG-4 based streams, Xvid and DivX.

It doesnt play in Paint, but it sorta makes a "hole" in the window where the video was playing, and if you have the Media player behind paint, then the video plays through the "hole"

Not unless the video is played in a overlay videolayer frame (which is quite common these days) on your monitor. The special videolayer isn't part of the memory which will be accessed by PrntScrn (or other screengrabbers). To grab a video like that, you need software that is able to grab the memoryspace of the videolayer or you need to turn of the option to use videolayers in your graphic cards settings or graphic driver settings.

Software which can easly grab stuff like that (even capture motion, record webcams, and other stuff) is Camtasia, SnagIt, etc... http://www.techsmith.com/
