Capture Screenshot From Dvd

OK, I'm trying to get a screenshot from a dvd I have (perfectly legal, US region code DVD)

The program I mainly use for doing this in windows media player, but it gives me some stupid digital rights error when I try to play it (as opposed to the fact I can play the dvd on other media players on my computer).

So does anyone know of a different program that an take a simple, high quality screenshot from the DVD?

 

I'm sure VLC Player takes screens.

 

You get a promblem with trying to capture with WMV? you can try an auxilury program like CaptureWizard, you can download a 15day trial, im sure if you google capwiz or capture wizard youll find it

 

Just take a ScreenShot (PrintScreen Button)[right on backspace]

Then bring up paint or something and hit ctrl+v.
Crop out what ya dont need.

 

Lol, I already tryed that plenty of times. All it returns in a blank black spot where the movie would be.

I'll check it out lasoya

Cant find any "capture wizard..."

 

sorry i told you the wrong thing check THIS

 

That doesnt get around the blank color area comming up when trying to take a screen of a video.

 

So yeah, never was able to figure this out :/

 

i think if you go tool-options then on perfomance and put the bar in the middle you can take a screenshot

 

i know the answer to ur problem.

right click ur desktop and press properties
click the "settings" tab, and press ADVANCED.
click on the trouble shoot tab
turn the hardware acceleration slider down to NONE

 

wmp will not ever let you take a screenshot of it, for the digital rights thing u mentioned before. You either need to get an external capturing method, or copy the video to your pc, open it in wmm and cap it from there. Those are your only options.

 

Use Intervideo WinDVD..plays everything..comes with tons of codecs..and you can take screenshots..

 

cyberlink pro dvd or sumthing like that im not sure if its free

 

Google for SnagIt. Its should be from techsmith.
heres a link.
POKE
Works fine for me, and you can set a global hotkey to capture the screen i.e( alt-2 ) or what ever. I like it and its VERY functional.

 

Using a different media play, I did a print screen with a capture program and got it. Thanks

But this still doesnt solve the ridiculous WMP error that stops me from playing the DVD in WMP

this is what i get

AS i said before, CD is 100% legal. I cant figure out whats going on, and we've been able to play other DVDs...
