Does anyone know how to take still shots from a you tube video? I'm in one and I just found out about it yesterday, I searched the video found it and found a couple of really good pictures that I'd like to have from it!

I already tried print screen and when saving to e-mail or document, when I right click to paste, the address for the you tube video pop's up.

Is this even possible to do with a video? If so how? Please help

    the only way i could think of doing it is to pause the video and use a program that allows you to get screen shots.

    There is several ways. Google SnagIT they have a trial version I think, plus google "download youtube video" and there are several sites that will allow you to download the entire video from your computer, and from there you can use something like windows movie maker to take screenshots.

    Ok, I just tried.....worked for me.

    Not sure what picture viewer you have but I use irfanview (its nifty and FREE, google it)

    Use print screen on the shots you want, then paste into irfanview, then save the file with whatever name you want and then send as a file in the email...not as an embedded image

    Just hit the "print screen" key on your keyboard and then paste into photo editing software.
