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.

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.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

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

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!

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!
