Saving Screenshots?

[dekiscool]

I have recently finished loading my movies from my old Griffith DB to PVD DB...which was no easy feat...1391 movies! Anyways...it is done, and while this isn't a HUGE issue, I thought it might be neat to get some screen caps. However, as I put in a DVD, put in the location of the DVD and then snap some screen shots...they don't seem to save. I see the thumbs in the left side of the screenshot maker, but when I close it, I can't find the screenshots. Any idea what the issue might be?? Thanks in advance.

What is your PVD version?

Sorry about that...forgot to put that. My version is 0.9.9.21

Where are you saving images? In the database or as external files?
If as external files, then check the paths in Preferences -> Folders

I assume it must be in the database. I checked the folders and there is nothing in the folder. But it doesn't appear to be going to the database. However I think I finally got it, but I don't know what I did differently. I had to try it at least 5 or 6 times.

So, what did you find out?

I am not sure...LOL....I guess I will have to try another dvd and see if it works or not. But like I said, when I go to the folder where the screenshots should be, it's empty.

Also...when I do screen shots from the DVD, it seems I have to load all the tech info from the DVD ie: video type, audio etc... Now I can delete the video and audio info from it...as I don't want it. However, when I am done with a particular movie, across from the Duration, is Media Type: and then it says x DVD. Is there a way to get rid of that Media Type part? See the pic....how do I get rid of the stuff in red?

You can remove any field bz unchecking it in Preferences -> Movies -> Visible items
or by editing the Skin file itself (more info at http://www.videodb.info/help/hlp_skins.html)

So, whats with your screenshots?

[dekiscool]

I guess it is working now. And thanks for the removing the Media Type thing. Thanks so much!

You are welcome. What was the problem with screenshots?

[dekiscool]

No clue what was wrong...it just suddenly started working.
