How do you screenshot DVD images from your computer?

I want to screenshot a few pictures from a DVD that i have been watching on my computer, so i pressed the screenshot button and then paste the picture into Paint, but that doesn't work as when I turn the DVD player off and view the picture that I had screenshot, it just turned up as a black picture, and i was wondering how i could take a screenshot of it without it doing this?

 

It always happens if you are using DVD..Don't no a particular reason..How I did take a Screenshot from DVD is by using Power DVD Player..there is an option to take screenshot. Just click that and the pic in bmp format will be there in MyDocuments...

 

Wow, this tip helped me, been wondering how to do it myself. Thanks!

Try it with hardware acceleration turned off.
-Right click on the desktop go to
Properties/Settings/Advanced

Now click on the troubleshoot tab and move the slider for hardware acceleration to none.

However in general the best way to get a screnshot is to use the DVD software.

 

I am curious that what player you are using..
If you are using Realone.You could play 2 videos in each player (windows media player & Realone),yes,play them together.Then hit the PrintScreen button.Hope it helps you

 

I use WinDVD for dvd's. Very easy to take a screenshot.

 

Yep in WinDVD its very easy...you can also take an animated gif picture of a motion picture in that...
