Well, I’m still happy (see previous). But I’m experiencing technical difficulties. My software DVD player is supposed to have a screen capture function, but it doesn’t. And screen capture programs like SnagIt (and I’ve tried others) don’t work, presumably because the DVD player uses some hardware shenanigans to get the image on the screen, so it’s not “seen” by the screen grab utilities.
Anyone know of a computer software DVD player that has a working screen capture, and/or screen capture software that works with DVD images?
I want to capture some of the wonderful images from Monsters. I am in awe of the Pixar people.
Cyberlink PowerDVD came with mine and it does screen captures pretty well. I agree about Monsters Inc. They did a great job with it.
Something else to think about (maybe?) :I have tried screen captures with other players (Windows Media, Real, etc), resulting in a black box where the stream is. I found that it’s my video card and not necessarily the capture device. (I really don’t know anything, just guessing here.)
