pause the dvd, press print screen on your keyboard and paste the image into paint, then save it as a bitmap or jpeg.

Winvid which is a dvd playing app for windows lets use capture screens whilst your watching

nerovision on nero 7 will allow you to do this...you can simply push take picture button as its playing and it will save the image that was on the screen as you pushed the button....

i took the smith dvd and got images of the strangeways sign that used to be at the corner of cheetham hill road and mozza on his bike, etc

Cheers chaps. Will have a go at the options suggested. I have a version of Nero but can't find any capture options anywhere. Will investigate further.

Can't find a 'proper' download link for this matey. Is winvid its proper name? I just get directed to rather dubious 'crack' sites.

Ta for your help.

There's a couple of things you can do.

There's a program called VLC Media Player that has a snapshot function.

Or if you want a really round about way of doing it. In Windows media, go into Tools ---- Options. Then go into the performance tab. And turn Video Acceleration to none, this will allow you to take screen prints (via the keyboard) of your screen (previosuly, if that was turned on, all you would recieve was a blank screen where the video window was).

Ah ... that's what's been happening. Was using that SnagIt programme and just when I thought I'd saved a couple of pics all they turned out to be were blank screenshots. Was driving me crazy as they'd appeared to be originally captured. Will try this method. Ta.
