So I want to take a screenshot of a .avi file, but whenever I do the video image just turns into a black screen. Can anyone help me out here?

Instructions for taking screenshots of your AVI file:
1. Make sure you are using a decent player. If you are using Windows Media Player, kill it with fire. You can uninstall it, ffdshow plays what you need and if it doesn't play it then you don't need it for a number of reasons. Then proceed to get Media Player Classic.
2. Configure your player to not use Overlay. Prefer VMR. It'll also look better and offer more contrast and saturations.
3. Take screenshots.

Taking screenshots of AVI video files is copyright infringement. I will in no way condone or assist such naughty behavior.
And vlc can take snapshots with hotkeys and the rendering is great so it won't pause the video for a split second while it snaps unlike most other players.

What kind of light-weight videos are you watching?

Mac OS X disables the screenshot key when you are watching videos, bitches ;)

Hey, dumbass, that's only on Apple's DVD Player. VLC doesn't stop you.

No, you dumb cunt. VLC will take a snapshot of whatever you're watching. Plus, it's ported.

Yeah, but I believe >>8 meant there's something like Print Screen in the iOperatingSystem, yet it's disabled while you play iVideos in some iPlayer; Apple can shove that iRights iManagement iShit up their iAsses.

What's the point of printing the ENTIRE FUCKING SCREEN? Only a moron would do that. Just use VLC's screensot ability to take a capture of the currently playing movie or whatever. Shit, it's not rocket science.

I see what you have done here.
Anyway, go to video troubleshoot and lower hardware acceleration, third mark from the left will do. Then open video player of choice and press the magic key - print screen.
