I'm trying to take a screenshot from a DVD I watched tonight but all the programs I've used so far are rubbish and useless, can anyone suggest one that actually work? :/

Intervideo WinDVD has a "bookmark/capture" menu that allows you to screengrab. It's what I used to make this icon.

Thaaaaank you :D

Like a noob I never use intervideo windvd as I nuncaer watch dvds on my laptop ^^;

Hypersnap DX is what you want, you'll need to use the "Special Capture" though

Failing that, go here -

Control Panel -> Display -> Settings -> Advanced -> Troubleshoot

- and turn Hardware Acceleration to "None". Theoretically from there you should be able to just do a standard Printscreen / CTRL+V into whatever photo app you want. Just make sure to turn it back on when you're done :P

Point that shit towards the door

They're quite iffy.
I'd suggest one if I'd seen one work in the last few years.
Remember that one Beetle tried? :p

I've asked Luke ages ago, he said he would do it, I'll remind him :/
Sorry I can't do anything about it myself as I don't know the password :/

Media Player Classic has a "save image as" feature. You pause it where you want it to take the picture and then save. It doesn't come out huge, like 480x640 i think? I haven't done it in awhile. But if you're just looking to make an icon or something it'd be perfect.

I'm really a big noob D:

Just wanted to make that Johnny Depp icon, spatula vs gun wins :D
