Lonelydreamer Posted September 7, 2004 Posted September 7, 2004 Hey! I'm looking for a program that has the ablility to take screen shots of dvds. I'm trying to take pictures of some of my anime dvds for my gallery but its proving harder than I thought. Any help is appreciated. Quote
LisaJill Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 what operating system? windows? Also, just beware that you're treading into dangerous territory with copyright infringement and law stuff. =) Quote
TCH-Rob Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 What DVD software too, mine will allow a hot key combo to grab an image. Quote
Lonelydreamer Posted September 8, 2004 Author Posted September 8, 2004 I'm on windows and i'm using the standard Dell Media Experience that came with my computer. Quote
TCH-Don Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 Mine will not let me grab a screenshot from a DVD playing on the computer. Something to do with the way the DVD hardware send video to the display. Quote
TCH-Rob Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 You might want to check the help file that came with the software it may have the option. Quote
LisaJill Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 I found ths on the Dell user support forums after googling for "screenshots from dell media experience" Hope that helps =) Quote
TCH-Rob Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 Then Lisa actualy "looks" for something and makes the rest of us look bad. Quote
LisaJill Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 *grins* You all could have looked, too...... Quote
TCH-Rob Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 I am at work so I cant go to too many places. You are just miss helper cause you got buttered up earlier. Admit it. Lonely, let us know if it is what you are looking for. Quote
borfast Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 Doesn't the good old "Print Screen" key work? It should grab the whole screen and put it in the clipboard. Then you just need to open your favorite photo editor and paste it into a new image. Or, if I recall correctly, if you want to grab just the active window, you can press ALT+PrintScreen and it will only capture the active window. If that's not it, then CTRL+PrintScreen will do the trick Quote
TCH-Rob Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 Doesn't the good old "Print Screen" key work? Nope, I have tried that many times. It works differently. Quote
woesap Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 Try snagit. It's a screen capture tool that has lots of features. I use it professionaly to take screenshots of forms in applications that I am testing. Different input possibilities, different output possibilities etcetc. Just check it out. Click Snagit page to visit a download site.. Quote
TCH-Rob Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 I have that but dont recall it working with my DVD software so SnagIt will be hit or miss. Give it a go if Lisa's option will not work for you. Quote
kevan_j Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 WinDVD (www.intervideo.com) has a hotkey for grabbing images..... Quote
TCH-Rob Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 Kevan, That's what I have and that's what I use. Works like a charm. Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 I havent tried it but Snag it seems to be able to do it. http://www.techsmith.com Quote
