Title: What's your method for getting pictures off DVDs? Post by: Guardian of the Rose on June 02, 2009, 07:50AM I have a stinky program which sometimes allows me to get pictures off DVDs, but they're not very high quality. :P
I can see that some of you are using snapshots from the DVDs, so I was wondering what software you used because I would like to make some banners, etc. with pictures from the DVDs. ;D I know there are many different programs for doing this, but does anyone want to tell me what you use? Thanks! ;) Title: Re: What's your method for getting pictures off DVDs? Post by: btimerson on June 02, 2009, 09:09AM Some video software allows you to grab an image "on the fly" so to speak - as the video is being played. My preference is to pause the video at the image I like, and step forward or back to get it just right, be sure the screen is maximized, and then do a screen grab. ( fn - prt scr ) on a PC.
This places the image on the desktop. Then open your favorite photo editing software and paste it in as a new image. It's a few more steps than having the screen grab function within the playback software, but it works and you can get a pretty quick routine going. I've posted lots of screen grabs on my Tribute page at: http://www.timerson.net/CW Have a look and download anything you like. There are other pages linked to from this main homepage.

Post by: BrianH_2009 on June 02, 2009, 11:55AM Hey Guardian, the VLC media player http://www.videolan.org/ works great for making screen caps.
Title: Re: What's your method for getting pictures off DVDs? Post by: Guardian of the Rose on June 03, 2009, 06:54AM Awesome, dudes!
I'll check out what you have suggested! Title: Re: What's your method for getting pictures off DVDs? Post by: Guardian of the Rose on June 05, 2009, 06:45AM I tried the VLC player, and it worked great!
I got a snapshot for a banner and you can see what I did here: http://www.celticwomanforum.com/index.php?topic=1397.msg258220#msg258220 Title: Re: What's your method for getting pictures off DVDs? Post by: Guardian of the Rose on June 14, 2009, 07:19AM While I was trying to find the right picture for a banner, I got a few more Mairead shots than I needed:

I like that one too. Her expression is priceless. Maybe I'll make some more banners sometime when I get back from the trip I'm about to take, and then I can use that picture!
But if there's something you want to do with any of these, go ahead and do it! I won't hog these images to myself. :) Title: Re: What's your method for getting pictures off DVDs?

Btw, do you know if Kevin has seen these? I kind of posted them with him in mind. ;) Title: Re: What's your method for getting pictures off DVDs?

Do you think I should start a new thread called "Pictures of Mairead for Kevin"? ;D Then anyone could put up their pictures. ROFL Title: Re: What's your method for getting pictures off DVDs?

Do you know of any good programs for getting a long sequence of pictures off a DVD and into a video file on your hard drive? Title: Re: What's your method for getting pictures off DVDs? Post by: BrianH_2009 on June 15, 2009, 10:32AM Pinnacle's Video Spin(which is free) can import a sequence of images and render to a video file. But I don't think it can extract images from a DVD though. If I think of any more i'll let you know.
