If you have a software viewer such as WinDVD or PowerDVD and probably a few others there's a snapshot facility. I think it loads the Windows clipboard so you simply paste into a graphic application.
Alternatively. pressing 'Print Screen" will load the entire screenshot into the clipboard
Oh, and welcome to the forums Eyeeye
This isn't a learning curve ... this is b****y mountaineering! -
Yes, even in freeware. PgcEdit can preview a VOB and in its preview screen just click the BMP button.
Note: Any video you capture this way or with PowerDVD etc will, if anamorphic, look squished. If this is the case, in order to make it look real, increase the horizontal scale by 33%.

You should only use genuine Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden media. Many thanks to www.pcx.com.au for their supply and great service.

If I remember correctly, this will only work properly if you turn off Hardware Acceleration" - other wise you'll just capture a black window...Comment

Thanks for the quick response.
I managed to find a function for snapshot in PowerDVD. It has a Snapshot function ans saves the screen shot wether the player is running or paused.
It requires you set up the resolution in the configurations popups,but it will save the resolution you describe as a bitmap to a folder you select.
Note: I found it will only save 9 screenshots to the same folder.
Other than that it works great and the resolution is perfect.
Everyone enjoy. This is a great function and works well.Comment
