Ryn | Monday, July 08, 2002 - 05:33 pm     If you want to share the way you do it - post it here. I mostly use a program called 'hypersnap' - its shareware and can be found at most download sites - I will post the link later. There ARE other ways as well. |
Sage | Monday, July 08, 2002 - 06:04 pm     I use Paint Shop Pro v.7. You can find it at jasc.com. It is not a free program, but I believe you can try it out for a certain time period for free. It is very useful for me to use this program for doing the screen caps, because of features for getting the pic lighter or darker, or sharper, or whatever. |
Pamy | Monday, July 08, 2002 - 07:42 pm     How?? I am still trying to figure out WHAT they are!!!

Ryn | Monday, July 08, 2002 - 08:34 pm     Some people take pictures of the live video feeds and post them or share them with friends. Its how we got pictures of certain things BEFORE you saw them on TV (if you ever did). We had screen caps of Justin holding the knife to Krista within a couple hours of it happening.
here is a screen cap I took of Ophillia right as the HGs were introduced to her (sorry - low quality cap as it was on my 56k connection). Many people without the feeds love to see things that won't be on TV for a day or two  |
Pamy | Tuesday, July 09, 2002 - 06:36 pm     Thanks Ryn!

Freydnot | Tuesday, July 09, 2002 - 10:15 pm     Ryn, I'll second your recomendation of HyperSnap and add in HyperCam too. They are both made by HyperIonics HyperCam will capture a movie by doing a series of screen captures as fast as your computer can go. It then saves them as an .avi movie. I've had great results with it. HyperSnap is $35 to register. Hypercam is $30 to register. Or you can get them both for $59.95 |
Ryn | Tuesday, July 09, 2002 - 10:29 pm     Yeah - I used hypercam to make AVIs of some of the goings on last year I bought version 2.x of hypersnap - it still works - I think they are on 4.x now You can capture audio & vid with hypercam, though it takes some playing around with. The fake stream of Monica jumping on the trampoline I made last year was made using hypercam (then inserted the AVI into a flash movie). |
Freydnot | Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 03:38 pm     I had success using streambox VCR to capture the RTSP streams directly last year. I haven't tried it since, so I don't know if it will still work. Its probably worth a try though. |
Ryn | Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 05:03 pm     Freyd - I have used it to capture the Extra stream and the CBS Early morning stream this year. You mean you used it to capture the live feeds too??? How did you turn it on and off if you did that?? |
Freydnot | Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 06:18 pm     Ryn, yes I was able to capture the live feeds with streambox VCR (or is the streambox ripper?) The key was to get the raw RTSP "URL" from URL snooper and feed that to streambox. The RTSP URL should look something like rtsp://rx-lvl3-tex01.rbn.com/farm/*/encoder/cbs/cbs/bb3/secure/live/cam3_200.rm?rbnkey=2002071101128ded6dd21d9252620b44900ed0c8e6e3 Let the games begin |
Gusto | Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 07:51 pm     Dang, I knew there was a trick to this - same as last year. I capture the image - but it is black.... Anyone know what the trick was to get screenshots last year? (And it was without buying Hypersnap) |
__Tera | Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 08:11 pm     Gusto.. in your RealOne "preferences" click on the "hardware" link, then uncheck "Use optimized video display". It worked for me. |
Gusto | Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 08:30 pm     Outstanding Tera! That was the solution ;-) Thank you |
Emjaycue | Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 09:02 pm     I wrote a screenshot tutorial for our users over at Riii. You folks are welcome to use it here if you want. Here's the link: Screenshot Tutorial |
Zachsmom | Wednesday, July 10, 2002 - 10:47 pm     How do I upload a screen shot to this website? |
Sage | Thursday, July 11, 2002 - 02:11 am     Zachsmom, the image uploading feature for the board has been disabled until the end of the Big Brother season. I and another person that I'm aware of, have made websites for posting the caps/shots. If you would like to, you could email me, and I would be happy to add a pic to my ever growing collection. Just click on my name to the left here, and you can get my email addy and the url for my site in my profile. I hope that helps. |
Missy666 | Tuesday, July 16, 2002 - 08:42 am     Thanks Tera and Emjaycue, I took your advise Tera and unchecked the thingy in Realone and I followed the directions Emjaycue wrote to make the screen prints and now I am able to do screen prints. |
Poser | Tuesday, July 16, 2002 - 03:25 pm     I've used every function of Hypersnap, and I can't get a screen shot of realone. Any other ideas? |
Missy666 | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 09:11 am     Poser I don't know anything about Hypersnap, but if you read the threads above from Tera and Emjaycue and download that program it should work to get screen shots, that is what I used and it worked great. Good Luck |
Poser | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 03:30 pm     Missy666, I already did all of those things. They didn't work. What I get is the realone shell with a black center. I know how to capture a screen. It just won't capture the streaming feed from BB. I am an expert with Paintshop Pro and have now tried 4 different screen capture programs including Hypersnap, the one that others say they are using. |
__Tera | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 05:37 pm     Poser.. in your RealOne "preferences" click on the "hardware" link, then uncheck "Use optimized video display". |
Sage | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 06:44 pm     I use a program called MWSnap. It is freeware, and works pretty good. You can find it Here. I hope that helps. |
Poser | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 07:37 pm     Tera, Yup. It is. |
Poser | Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 07:53 pm     Duh!!! I have been reading the instructions about the optimized video display backwards. I have been making sure it WAS checked. Thanks everybody. It wasn't an expertise problem. It was a reading comprehension problem. It's tough being stupid, but somebody has to do it. |
__Tera | Thursday, July 18, 2002 - 09:13 am     lol, Poser. I'm glad it worked for you. |
