[Geysers] Beehive OF dual screenshot from the Streaming Webcam

[Graham Meech]

I took a look online today to find out how to capture video screenshots and
one comment was that 'overlay' settings can cause video capture problems.
So on my Windows XP computer (with Windows Media Player version 11) I did
the following (follow along at your own peril with no guarantee it will work
for you):

 

1)                   Started Windows Media Player (clicked on Start, All
Programs, Windows Media Player)

2)                   Went to the Tools, Options Menu (right click on the
title bar, select Tools, Options)

3)                   Click on the Performance Tab

4)                   In the Video acceleration box, click on the Advanced
button.  This opens the Video Acceleration Settings window.

5)                   In the Video acceleration box on this screen, uncheck
the Use Overlays checkbox.

6)                   Click OK.

7)                   Click Apply on the Options window and respond Yes to
the prompt.

 

Then I restarted the streaming webcam and tried it again and this time I
could capture the streaming web page contents (press Alt-Print Screen) and
paste them into an image viewer such as Paint to crop and save them (save
the files as file type JPEG or some other format to reduce their size).
There are some screen capture programs out there that make capturing and
saving images easier but you have to download something.

 

Having just written this email, I wanted to send a sample webcam image of
something interesting...and I see that Beehive indicator is going and OF is
splashing ..so here's Beehive June 11 at 1736 with OF at 1740 webcam time.
I call that interesting even though the weather is still 'unpleasant'.

 

Happy Webcam Gazing.
