??? I didn't know that... here I am useing WinDVD all this time and thinking it was better.
Bahhumbug.

I also have WinDVD... but PowerDVD is definitely better. Mind you it is only better because of the screen capturing option... I don't think the quality is any better.
I can get you a link to download it if you want...
Very nice!

"Capture
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WinDVD now allows users to capture a static image during movie playback. Press the "P" key at any time to capture a BMP file of a moving or static image. Capture does not work on zoomed regions and on some hardware motion compensation graphics chips. If you are having a problem, try disabling hardware motion compensation and capturing again.
Captured bitmaps are stored in the Capture subdirectory of the WinDVD directory on your hard drive. Captured files are numbered sequentially: cap001.bmp, cap002.bmp, and so on.

Heh. Figures. I'll be damned.Quote:

Thanks, Amp!
so anyone want to tell me why i've had Power DVD over a year and the screen capture button is greyed out 95% of the time?
Wow. I had no idea I could do that. Woot! :D
Hey how do you make gifs.. and stuff move like.. that.. i want to make a little move.. that would be cool..
Do you have ImageReady? Photoshop would greatly help, too...Quote:

I'd also recommend Jasc's Animation Shop 3 and Paint Shop Pro 7. You can download a shareware version of it from their website. It's not as powerful as Photoshop, but it's much easier to use, and it's free.
BTW - in PowerDVD - how EXACTLY do you capture the screens? Like what do you press or something?
The little camera icon... if you can't see it, just scan your mouse pointer over the buttons... it'll say "Capture" over one of them...
Enjoy.
damn..i don't see it anywhere man...is it on the little console display when you go into window mode? Please help! Is there some kinda shortcut key i can use?
Now all I need is a DVD drive on my computer and I am set. Wait... first I need a computer.
CRAP!
Couldn't you have just used print screen?
piku- Nope, doesn't work.
station- The second icon.. it looks like a camera.
I just got PowerDVD, and I'm wondering the SAME thing.Quote:

EDIT: Nevermind, video accelleration has to be off for it to work.
The capture button is probably greyed out because you have hardware acceleration on. You need to go into the configuration and turn it off. You can only capture screens in software playback mode.
You don't even need hardware acceleration on if you have a decent computer, so leaving it off won't ruin image quality. At least that I've noticed.
Best part about PowerDVD to me is the shuttle FF/Reverse using the scroll wheel. 32x FF is very nice.
