I'm trying to take screenshots (File/Save Image) of some of my movies in Media Player Classic, but it keeps giving me this error, "GetCurrentImage failed, hr = 8000ffff."
Does anyone know what this means? Does anyone know how I can fix this problem so that I can take screenshots?
An illustrated guide has been added in Guides section. See How to capture images from movies using Media Player Classic
Full Version: Media Player Classic
Should work with MPC. I tested it using 6.4.8.4 which I believe is the latest. Do you have latest DirectX9.0C installed? Just matter of playing video and pausing it.
Click File.. SaVE IMAGE...
Here's a screenshot of The Incredibles I did moments ago:
Click to view attachment
P.S. Under options..playback.. output, the normal setting is SYSTEM DEFAULT.
However, it won't work for all filetypes.

Yes, you probaby will need DirectX9b at least.
And check out the rendering/overlay settings. You may not be able to save images in some cases but you can change these options in MPC if you click Options under View drop down menu.

I love chp ^^...
hmm I'm trying to capture some screenshots as well, and the error message I get is the same, except that the hr code = "80004002"
Does anybody know if this is any different from 8000ffff?
I tried the solution in chp's image, but I am already using a DirectShow Output renderer that doesn't have the * next to it (* says saving images doesn't work). I am actually using Media Player Classic Homecinema version v1.0.11.0.
Hmm...might be because I'm trying to save from a mp4 file. I just tried with an mkv and there are no problems...

won't work here either. what's the matter?
meh.
so disappointing.
Thank you, it work prefectly fine for me. I register for this purpose too. Thank so much.
Hrm it's not working for me, either. What's irritating is that I've done it before, but I can't remember how. I've changed the settings and none of them have the single asterisk beside them, so I don't know it's not working...

thanx a lot!!!!!!!!!!!
After you've made the changes the options, don't forget to restart MPC.
i started out having the "getcurrentimage failed" problem. Then came to this forum thread & saw chp's post about the MPC options.
But after making the changes, i was still having the problem - until i restarted MPC. Now it works perfectly.
Thanks chp!

Yes, many thanks from me, too. Wonderful!
I'm not sure if it was your suggestion or something else I did that fixed my problem, but either way: thanks.
