  • Program crash when tryng to capture from AVI

    I have an odd problem.

    I have a 2 minute fishing video codeced in AVI (Ati's propietary one...don't know name off hand) and I can view it fine in AVI players....but when I play it in PowerDVD 2.55 and I attempt to make a .BMP capture of an AVI scene....the program crashes. I reload the program and same thing over again. I really would like to get a capture from one of my fishing scenes in the AVI but I am at a loss at how.

    Are there any other AVI players which have a capture utility out there (free preferably) that I could try? Or is there a workaround I do not know about? Remember that it is an ATI based all-in-wonder pro codec from a few years ago...and I no longer have that video card....and I am using unofficial ATI codecs to play it back on my G400 max based machine...so that could be contributing to the difficulty in capturing...but alas the .AVI plays just fine.

    thanks

    What video editor do you have? Some allow you to export a bitmap of a given frame. Also some have preview windows you can capture to the clipboard using ALT-PRTSCN.

    Once the image is in the clipboard you can paste it into most viewers & drawing proggies and save the file out. IfranView can do this as can others.
