cropping an image from a movie

[Masamune]

i was making avatars out of invader zim cartoons and i usually cpature the screen with the print screen button and crop it with MSpaint. but now when i do that, it does something wierd with the croppd image from the movie and makes it disappear when i try to move it. what is going on?!

It seems to be some sort of protection thing that a lot of movies do for some reason. I've tried it on a lot of occaisions and found that the movie part of the image is on a fixed position on the screen, no matter where the rest of the image on the screen is. When it's somewhere else, it'll just show black.

There is a way, don't fret.
You need to get the latest version of power DVD, It shopuld play avi's ect. Play your movie and then when you want to take a pic you must press the 'P' button on your keybord I think (that or c) and it should save a pic to your desktop. Win DVD does the same but it has never worked for me. Powere DVD works so try it out.
