flyingfiddler Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Hello all,I'm trying to capture a scene from a DVD to use for a presentation for some friends. I have a Powerpoint slide show ready but this clip will be the 'icing on the cake' as it were.I've tried various freeware and shareware/payware tools but I just can't seem to get it to work. I had a few thoughts on how to do this, maybe you guys can offer more suggestions?- Copy the entire DVD to my hard drive and then somehow convert to AVI so I can use Adobe Premiere or another program to capture the clip.- Use a screen recording program to capture the WinDVD/PowerDVD screen to record it (tried this once but just got a black player window in the recording.Any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated.Regards,Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigeratiPrime Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 one easy fast way i know about is to use DVDShrink. Simply use Re-author mode drag the title which contains the scene you want, right-click Set Start/End Frames and then Backup (export vob file).

jcarle Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 You can use AutoGK to convert to AVI after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaqie Fox Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 (edited) Or you can use media player classic - set it up to render it totally in software and you can simply take a printscreen of it.Screenshot I highlightedSee it in action here Edited December 5, 2006 by Jaqie Fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
