First of all, I’d like to point out that I’m really dumb. I’ve been using print-screen for all my screen-shots, and then pasting them in paint, after which I re-crop, and re-paste. This method isn’t really hard to do, but it’s really fucking annoying. I was just wondering if there was some other, faster, better, easier way to get a screen-shot of something, such as this:
That example was done in Microsoft Paint, something that takes about 6 steps for me, and is annoying.
No theres not… and how is that a 6 step process?
1. Print Screen
2. Open in Paint
3. Delete everything around your picture
4. Save
There is nothing that could possibly be faster than that
1. Print Screen
2. Copy Selection
3. Create New (otherwise you have to adjust the size afterward)
4. Paste
5. Save
That’s too many steps
Use Media Player Classic and there is a screen cap functionality built right in. Might have to mess the setting a little to get it working the first time though.
Yeah, that’s what most bloggers use.
It’s CTRL-I to take a screenshot, though it doesn’t always take the exact picture of the screen.
Though for streaming (which is what I assume you use, since print-screen doesn’t really work for video files), I don’t think there’s any other option.

Niceeeeee. I use torrents a lot, although sometimes I do stream.
Use GOM player. There is a screenshot function there
I think I’m going to use GOM, I just couldn’t figure out the MPC, and GOM is pretty easy.
Thanks! (to everyone)
There’s also screenshot functionality in VLC (it’s shift-S default on the version I have) and in a variety of other players! Just check your settings. Much faster than cropping ^_^
