Penguins of Madagascar Question

How does everyone get these great screenshots?!

I've tried multiple times to get a screenshot, but it always turns out blurry and unusable. How does everyone manage to do it?

If it's the SCREENSHOT you have trouble with, I have no clue on how to help. I have one of the new Dell laptops that has a little button that says "Prnt Scrn", meaning Print Screen.

If it's the WEBSITE, I may be able to help. Here's a couple that I use to get quality images:

Nickelodeon: Not many full episodes, but useful. Best quality.
220.ro: Foriegn website, but has many older episodes that cannot be found anywhere else. Great quality, almost as good as Nickelodeon.
Madagascar Wikia: Very useful, usually has full episodes. Not as great quality, though.
Watch Cartoon Online: Has episodes, but fair quality.
Trilulilu: Many times it does not work, but I guess that's because it's from Romania. XP
Youtube: Last resort. Many episodes get copyrighted soon after being posted, unless the screen is flipped and Viacom doesn't delete it. The quality varies from good to acceptable to terrible.

See, this picture was taken on Nick.com, the one with the best quality images.

For me, I go on wikia.com to get an online episode. Then, when I get to the scene I want to use, I full screen the video and press PrintScreen or PrtSc on my keyboard. I paste the picture into Paint.

This is a follow-up answer to quasomeness:

But, if you're using a MacBook or an iMac (like what I'm using right now), this is what you should do:

1. Press command + shift + 3 (you need it full screen).
2. But, if you pressed command + shift + 4, you can see your cursor changed. All you need to do is to click and drag the cursor in the portion that you want to save.

The good part here is that you don't have to paste it in Paint, because it will automatically be saved into your desktop.

Hope this helps, even for those Apple users around there. :)

Edited answer!:

It depends on what type of video viewer you are viewing on. As far as I can see, Bluepenguin always posts clear screencaps. You can ask her. :)

For me, I just use VLC Media video, just pause the scene you want, right click on video and search snapshot. And then click on it, you have your picture.

Same way as I mentioned above in my answer. Just press PrtSc on your keyboard.

I pause the video and use my snipping tool on my laptop and cut out the picture, then I edit it some, and ta-da.
