I've heard mention of taking a screen shot off a DVD to use as a reference picture. How is this done? I have a DVD player on my computer. Is this all I would need to do it?

You'll need the right software to get a screen capture, the one I use is called PowerDVD by Cyberlink. All you do is click a button on the frame you want then paste into Photoshop or whatever programme you use. Very useful.

For some reason when I play DVD's on my computer the colors are way off - extreme.
Anyway, I have a free-ware program called ScreenGrab - but it won't take shots of the DVD.
Don't know why.

Thanks to both of you. PowerDVD came with my computer, but it's an older version that doesn't have that feature. Maybe I will check on an upgrade. I will try ScreenGrab for sure though.
Thank you both

Windows XP has a built in program called winDvd 4 which plays DVDs The program has a capture button most DVD software does. Works for me now if they could come up with something that woud draw caricatures for me I would be set.

When I click on the 'capture' button on the winDVD4 it says - that's only available on the retail version.

The Windows Media Player is supposed to have a capture option also, but my isn't working.
I don't know if it's something in a setting or if it only works on certin DVD's.
