BIG NEWS

Boy do I have some BIG news! Finally, I am able to get screen shots from the streaming cam at www.africam.com ! I want to send the BIGGEST THANK YOU EVER to Indianajohn for revealing the secret to this! Actually it was simple to do, once you know how. For those of you that are interested, here's what you can do >>>

Please Note that you should not have the stream running when you do this. I did when I tried and still couldn't get a save. Guess Media Player has to be off when you make the change and when you get back on it's ready!

First open your Media Player
Then go to Tools
Click on Options in this area
Click on the Performance tab
Click on the Advanced button
Uncheck the box for "overlays" under Video Acceleration
Click OK
click OK again

That's it! Now you can open the streaming cam and you can use MWSnap3 to get screen shots!

MWSnap3 is a free download you can find on the internet. I'll check and get that URL to post here. Might go ahead and make it a link. Now for just a couple of pics I got today with my new "toy" ~

I have some more pic from here and other places that I hope to get posted later today. It'll be on my list of "things to do" right after I'm done with the cams, that is. But I guess I should do a little housework. Dog hair and bird feathers are almost knee high! Well not really, but will be soon. My family would like some clean clothes and a hot meal or two also. How selfish is that? Always us, us, us. I am kidding though, they are really being good about the time I spend watching the cams and keeping everything updated here. So remember to kiss the family every once and a while and tell them you'll see them around Christmas!

Until then HAPPY VIEWING!!
