The Venus of Willendorf.

Hi Ryan,
I get a copy of my screen OK, but the video playing which is a screen within my screen, is just black .

Thanks Ryan. Let that one go through to the keeper. I can capture Youtube, just not BORGEN.

Here's what you need to do.

#1. go to the windows menu
#2. go to accessories
#3. choose the SNIPPING TOOL (it is usually identified as a red pair of scissors)
#4. click on it
#5. use it like a cropping tool to crop out whatever you want of the screen in front of you.
#6. save it to your pictures file (I think it dose that automatically anyway)

This will work for even videos.

I use the snipping tool a lot as well - it's in the quick launch bar on my system. When using that for videos, it freezes the screen while the video continues playing in the background (unseen, but you can still hear it). With the PrintScreen button, the video continues to play in the foreground, so I have the option of pressing the PrintScreen button multiple times to get the image I want. That just updates the contents of the clipboard to hold whatever was on the screen the last time I pressed the button.

But I still can't guess why that would fail in Rod's case. Must have something to do with video card memory addressing or something like that. Hmmm, try a bit of googling ....

Well, I was close. It's probably a hardware graphic acceleration issue, with the hardware then mapping the video to a different memory space. Have a look at this page, or try searching for "video capture black screen" if this doesn't give you enough info.

You guys Rock! Turned off video acceleration...Yay!
will post BORGEN pics tomorrow.

That's the way it goes because video is presented in so called 'video overlay/interlacing' which goes on top of the actual screen image. If you want a screenshot of the video, you have to use the tools most media/video players provide.




I have a used copy It's really one of the most amazing stamps to look at because each direction/angle provides a different (very realistic) view.

Oh yes it does. I'm almost positive but you gotta look around some. It's there. if not them dissapointed in Windows XP

I guess it dont? At least I couldn't find it... hmm sorry then.

Yeah that's what I was just reading? That's odd but then again so is XP..but then again I still use vista..lol

BTW Fastone capture looks good, thanks Rod; they also have other free image tools ...I downloaded the lot as zips to be checked out later.

Three-Dimensional Venus, 22.07.2008

22.07.2008
Introducing our three-dimensional "Venus of Willendorf" on a miniature sheet! The new stamp will be issued on 8 August 2008.


She is merely 11 centimetres high and approximately 25,000 years old: the famous "Venus of Willendorf", found in the village of Willendorf located in the Wachau region. 7 August 2008 is the 100th anniversary of the discovery of the "Venus of Willendorf". Austrian Post is honouring this very special occasion with a unique stamp. For the first time ever, a three-dimensional stamp has been produced.
Thanks tot his new three-dimensional miniature sheet by Austrian Post, one of Austria's most important archaeological discoveries comes to life and takes centre stage.
As many as 80 (!) individual photos have been used for this picture, which required a precise production process, maximum concentration, a lot of experience and an important amount of equipment.
