Isn't the snake from CoS?

OH MY GOD!! I've think I've just had the dumbest moment of my life  Tongue Everytime I looked at that picture, I thought it was a random pic of a snake. Now that you've mentioned it I can tell the exact scene that it came from.  Embarrassed Embarrassed

In that case, rns91294 I can animate your current icon.  Grin

One of the reasons I normally have a small animated scene on top of another picture is because it makes the file size smaller so I can upload it. If I made a GIF using the average 40 frames, but make it a full 80 x 80 pixels, it would probably be to big (file size wise) to upload to photobucket  Wink Smiley

Yup, it is from CoS!!!  I also have one frmo the snake from the SS.  My avatar with the snaKE is actually a close up of the scene (kbmum helped me with that).  I love snakes so I thought it appropriate for me.  If you can get one like that, that would be cool too.  I am going to photobucket for the Map picture.

BTW, my computer at work sucks Wink

ooo erm, lets see...dell by any chance? lol  Tongue Tongue

You'll have to try something for me...somewhere on your keyboard (normally near the top right) should be a button that says 'Print Screen' Now usually, if you press that, it will take a screen shot of your entire desktop and copy it to the clipboard. When you are playing the dvd, try pausing it, press the button and then going straight into ms paint and pasting it. Save the image, then stop the dvd, discard the picture in paint, and then reopen the image. I'm probably confusing you, but alot of programs (quicktime, windows media player, interactual player etc...) will not allow you to screen cap a dvd, so what happens, when you re-open the image file, the part where the film was will show up as a black screen. If this happens then you're stuffed basically, unless you download a program which will screen cap the movie for you. If you re-open the image file and the movie image still shows, then all is well. Let me know how you get on  Smiley

YAY!!! ok, find a scene you want animated and pause it at the beggining of it. screen cap that image and save it. Then, if you can, step forward 3 frames and then screen cap that image and so on every 3 frames. Most of the GIFs I make require anywhere from 25 - 45 frames, but just take as many as you want  Grin


edit

DOH!!! >.<
