Image Capture
November 22, 2005 12:59 PM
Is it possible to capture still images from a DVD movie in a standard graphics format? Looking to save images of antique cars from old movies.
A long way would be to play the movie on a dvd rom drive, take a screenshot, and save it in your preferred photo editing software as a jpg.

If you have a Mac, use VLC to play the DVD, and Apple's built in screen capture to take the pictures.

You can do it with any number of video players. Media Player Classic, for instance, can capture images in JPG format just by pressing CTRL+8.

I think with all the programs suggested, you could do it on both 98SE and XP Pro.

I would be amazed if VideoHelp didn't have umpteen tutorials on getting images out of a DVD. Some instructions will be over-the-top and others simple, though probably not as simple as the capture option many playback pieces of software have.

VLC for whatever operating system you use. It's incredible

I second VLC.
It'll play anything, and frame captures work flawlessly.
