vaguely unhelpful but i use kmplayer and its v easy to set up for capping

I haven't done it in a year or two, but this looks like what I did to make it work How to Take Batch Screenshots or Screencaps in VLC M...

are those options no longer there?

eljkofantastico: yep, that was one of the ones i tried and it looks like those options have changed since unfortunately, i couldn't find them

skitties: i might have to hit you up on that to make my life easier

i do so much capping from it and once the settings are in its like 1 button press boom

I have no idea as the way I cap is face by face

I mean I do entire Mandalorian episodes but I also just watch it and cap as I go. It's not for everyone for sure.

ok i figured it out

skitties waftingcurtains how many frames apart would both of you suggest for captures? the default is at 50

waftingcurtains: oh i guess you might not have a suggestion for that since you do it manually lol

i just don't have the patience for that. i'll do it for single scenes or if there is a specific cap i want but i would not have the patience to do it manually for that long lol

i do it every 4 frames but i overcap and end up with like ~10000 caps for an episode. but i like not missing things and dont mind sorting through later

Yeah I was trained by capping who does it my way as we usually are asked to do just one face at a time rather than a whole thing. And so it's just my inclination. It takes more time but it makes me know for sure I have everything I need when I go to sort.

that's fair

i'm just capping this whole movie and then i figure it there is a specific frame i want if it didn't capture it i'll go back and hand do it

Yeah when I do Mandalorian episodes I do more of everything and it's a whole different process.

I mean I still do it manually lol it just helps it's only 30 minutes

lol you still have way more patience than me

i tried it at every 65 frames but i lowered it to 50 because i felt like it wasn't doing as much as i wanted
