Tutorial: VLC Media Player

[amiyuy]

Over in cap_it there have been many requests in the past couple of weeks about how/what to use to screen cap and I've answered all of them, but I'm getting a bit tired of repeating myself, so I decided to make this tutorial instead. I hope it's helpful. ^_^

VLC Media Player
A free and very easy program to use and take screen caps in.

What do you mean by "applications"?

It's a media player, so it will only play media (movie/music) files like .avi, .wmv, .mp3, ect. (all of the supported types are listed here).

Taking screen captures of programs can be done other ways.
- To get caps like I did above where it is only the active window: Alt + Print Screen
or
- The whole screen: Print Screen

To save the image you then have to paste it into a program such as Paint or Photoshop and save it there.
