How to take screenshots on DVD player...?

[Will Wood]

Well. My freind has a intervideo windvd4 dvd player. Won't let her take screen shots. My mission is to figure out how to enable em... So go to work you computer geeks :D

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure that you cant take screen shots of DVDs on comps, I think the reason that was told to me is because the dvd goes strait to the video card or something like that, I really dont know and I also dont think its possible.

I'm about 99% sure you can, some way or another, capture the iamge on screen...

You can. Its all in the player.

DirectDVD will let you take screenshots, along with quite a few other features. It is $39 though.

Good luck.

*edit* I just checked, there is a free download there too. Dont know if it has the screenshot feature.

Well I might have been informed that you cant do it using the prnt scr button on the keyboard.. I dunno :p

I just looked and in powerdvd XP there is a button that says capture frame.. so I guess thats it..

But it's just the dvd player software that doesn't like the print screen button. Just need a way around it..
