Title: Conversions in the far Future
Post by: paigeoliver on March 18, 2005, 05:51:24 am

I watched Alien Ressurection today, and there is a converted Joust cabinet in the movie, Atomic something or other, there is a closeup of the marquee and gameplay towards the beginning of the movie, then you can see the whole thing later.

I tried to take a screenshot of it, but for some reason I couldn't do it. I'd press printscreen and then paste it into photoshop and the picture part of it would turn black.

But anyway, I guess those 19" cabs WILL be on location FOREVER.

Yeah, you can't do screen caps that way due to how the video is outputted to the screen.  I think though, that most DVD playback software (that I've seen) has snap grabbing capabilities.

There's a free app called FastStone Screen Capture.
Use that.
