Default Question Need Help

I am looking for a good way to take high quality screen captures from DVD's. Niether Windows media player or the two other DVD players I have on this machine work for that. Any advise?

Because of the special way DVD is done, it takes something special to do it. I finally found one that can do it (that's free, I think). However, it's at home and I'm at work. If this hasn't been answered by then, I'll post the one I found when I get home.

Crap! Let me take a look! I got absorbed in a problem game (ugh!).

OK...

This is what I have:

Any Capture

But I think it runs on a trial Version sort of thing. This is a capture I made before from Tomb Raider:



I can't seem to capture now (but I think it may be to the trial time running out). But, I captured the above pic with it. It offers options, like changing the aspect ratio from wide screen to a different ratio.

It works well (but, as I said, I can't get it to work now and I suspect it's because the trial period is up).

I don't think there are many other choices but if there are other options that capture DVD screens, I'd surely like to know. Capturing DVD screens is a tough thing.

But, this one works.

*Pops in* I can actually *see* a picture hosted on your site Slynky; what happened to your script to deny me access? *Smirks*
