Capture a movie scene.

A very popular type of mobile phone wallpaper is a movie snapshot. You can capture scenes in a movie by playing the movie (or the trailer) on your PC and then capturing the screen. On a Windows PC, use the Print Screen key to capture the entire screen into the clipboard. Then, in an image editor program (GIMP is recommended, but Paint works too), you can paste the captured screen, crop the movie scene, resize it, and then save it to a supported format. On a Mac, you can use the Shift-Command-4 key (the Command key is the one with the Apple logo on it) to capture a rectangular area of the screen into a PDF file (or PNG file in Mac OS X 10.4) and then use an image editor program to convert it to a size and format suitable for mobile phones.


Some movie players disable the system screen capture key. VLC (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/) is a free DVD and VCD player that supports screen capture.
