Anybody? Is there a program or just a certain combo of Alt-Ctrl-Tab like a Mortal Kombat special move?

First, what DVD software are you running?

If you use a DirectX-based player, you'll need video capture software that can take DirectX captures. Else, you'll end up with some wierd non-image thing that isn't really a capture and all that stuff.

I use PowerDVD 4.0 (which has it's own built in capture button), but I also use HyperSnap DX 4 in conjunction. I think, you can get both demo versions from download.com, and it's not too much too register them, but you can get around that. Not that I would know. Poor student that I am.

Edit: Use WinDVD's capture thing. It's easier.

I use WinDVD, which also has built in cap features...

I am an egg. Nothing to see here.

PowerDVD has a button to press. On WinDVD you have to press "P", I belive.

There's no visual confirmation, which might be throwing you. They end up in a sub-directory of the program's directory, in a folder called "images" or "Captures" or something similar.

No, just wasn't aware of the process. All taken care of now, thanks a bunch.

Posted by CaptainMike (Member # 709) on :

I'm glad we've settled this. Good job guys.

Now its time to go back to what we do every night...

Anyone here have any experience extracting audio from DVDs? Can you recommend a utility/method for doing this?

Posted by Snay (Member # 411) on :

Could someone do me a favor? I don't have a DVD player (on my computer!), but I'd like a screen-grab of Hogwarts when we first see it ... I think its about 30 minutes into the film. Thanks! [Smile]

And I'd like a bowl of hogballs, if it's not too much trouble. Steamed, preferrably.

I think they'll go down nicely with a strong Merlot, say -95, mixed with an explosion of swine.

Tnx, BE. I'm going to try the SmartRipper they seem to like so much. Actually, that site has quite a bit about VCDs in which I am also very interested. So, thanks!

Where in the world is there a capture button on PowerDVD?

Posted by thoughtychops (Member # 480) on :

I dunno. I can't find it either. Matter of fact, I have three DVD player progs on this 'puter, and I can't find the proper buttons on any of them.

I get tired of looking for them and start playing video games.

Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :

See the button that looks like a camera? The one that says "Capture frame" when you hold the cursor over it?

Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :

Surely that's just a cunning decoy?

Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :

Yes, it is. The real button is in my pants.

I did not just say that.

Posted by The359 (Member # 37) on :

The only Camera buttons I see on PowerDVD 4.0 are for Angle, not "Capture Frame".

As much as I loathe smilies, Tim's comment has forced me to use one.

O_O

Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :

Matt: See the two rows of buttons in the middle? See how the bottom row is shorter than the top? It shouldn't be. There should be another button on the left, which is the capture button.

It's also not supposed to say "DELL" at the top. I'd recommend getting yourself a real copy of the program.

I figured it was something stupid like that...
