Can't screencapture!

Ruglya · #1 (**permalink**) 27th January 2008

Hi everyone, well the thing is, I use BSPlayer a lot mainly for the screencapture feature ( P ) and it had always worked fine. But recently, any time I press P, the program freezes. The movie keeps rolling, but I can't click none of the controls and hotkeys. It's driving me mad, cause it's happening with every version I try :(

Codecs I use: Haali Media Splitter, ffdshow (both part os the Matroska Codec pack)

Hope someone can help!
Thanks in advance!

Have you tried to follow all BSPeter's READ THIS FIRST BEFORE POSTING
(b) I wish to capture screens, but ...
suggestions?
At lest have you tried to change rendering mode?

Thanks for the answer. Well, I tried all the rendering formats, and this is happening with every of them. I just don't know what else I can do.

Try to reinstall the codecs used.. Plus there are other programs that listen for the P key? What happens if you change it in BSplayer preferences to something else (CTRL+P -> Keydefinitions and WinLIRC)

Alright, I FINALLY FIXED THIS!! The problem was that in the Preferences, my captured name format was lacking the %A3 at the end, and that (if im not mistaken) gives the images the number at the end (per ex. image0001.jpg). Therefore, my BSP crashed when I tried getting screencaps.

Thank you very much Tizio for the help.

Yes, that code adds the numbers at the end of the captured images.
I'm glad to ear that you managed to solve your problem :)
