I use PowerDVD to play/grab shots. After pausing it has a frame advance feature that can find a less grainy shot, provided the character is not moving. Screengrab then is a camera icon. Any movement lessens the chance of getting a good grab. A little tweeking in Photoshop can fix some shots. This has been hard with the latest trend of using the always-moving POV camera. Nu Battlestar is a good example. I have heard that these types of prgrams don't like Blu-ray though.

Most DVD playing software should have options to advance single frames, as well as capturing the screen, which would be a better method to getting the exact shot you want. Given that DVDs are "moving" and only go up to 720 pixels, it's hard to really get a quality still.. all you can really do is just find that right frame to capture.

yea, thats what ive been doing.

By screen shots, I'm assuming your using the 'Prnt Scr' button on your computer?? That's about the best way I know of & have used when I make my custom photos. if you upgraded to a Blu-Ray DVD player for your computer and bought the new SW blu-Ray set you might get better quality, but that would be pretty pricey just for screen shots. lol.

Sometimes trying to capture a good scene is hard to do since everything is moving so quickly, but you gotta learn to be fast on the play/pause button. {up}

Hi,

I do a lot of custom Star Wars stuff, and take a lot of screen shots off the DVD's on the computer, but sometimes im not very happy with them.

Anyone know of a good way to get really clear pictures off DVD's?

Thanks.
