VideoLAN - VLC media player - Rape Board

I'm not sure which thread to post this in.

I've seen some posts about having trouble capturing screenshots from certain formats such .RM files, and also posts about not being able to view videos because of Codec errors.

I've found the following program to be very helpful. Not only will it open/play most media formats with most codecs, you can also take snapshots while the video is playing, and it will automatically save these to your My Documents/My Pictures folder, so you can keep taking snapshots without stopping the video, to create a series of screenshots of your video for uploading.

This is Freeware, so I didn't see the need to hide or protect the links:

i just use the media player classic that comes with the Real Alternative player.
Open a realmedia video, then click file, then save image.
that simple - I did that with the vidcaps i made for vids i use to have up.
