Can anyone recommend a method for capturing DVD images?

[Love Bug]

What I want to do is capture some screen shots from DVDs and paste them into Photoshop. "print screen" doesn't do it. I'm on a PC with the latest version of Windows.

Any suggestions? Thanks much!

1. What dvd software are you using?

PowerDVD has built-in screen capturing somewhere in there.

The issue is that the video is displayed using an overlay so that when you hit print screen it doesn't capture that aspect.

There are all manner of freeware dvd screen capturing programs as well. Just google it.

2. The DVD just runs in Windows Media Player

I'll take your suggestion. Thanks!

3. WMP can't play dvds by itself

so if it's working there, you must have some other dvd software installed (that is doing the decoding in the background.) Most likely it will be either WinDVD or Cyberlink PowerDVD. Check to see if you have one of those and if there is built-in screen capture utility in them--there may be in your particular version.

4. DVD Decoder Plug-ins

You can play DVDs with Windows Media Player with a Plug-in.

I use Power DVD to capture Images from DVDs.
