Help With Photo Stills on Movie DVDs

I have been looking through the Terminator SE and would like to save some of the photo stills on my hard drive. Is it possible to do this??

Thanks,
Dan

When I mean movie stills - I do not mean freeze frames but some of the publicity shots on the disc under special features..any help?

I imagine it would be the same as any screen capture. Just go to the picture that you want and hit the capture button. I had a problem capturing earlier, but that is because I had the OEM version of Cyberlink PowerDVD, rather than the retail "XP" version, which can capture. Rambling aside, just treat it as you would any other screen shot. You could even try to pause the DVD on that specific photo, and it should work. Good luck.

EDIT: If you are having trouble, please list your computer DVD player on this site, and help should be easy to find.

Well I have got PowerDVD - but I didn't know if the pictures are stored on the disc somehow as a bmps or another picture form.

Well, open the configuration menu. There should be a capture tab with and advanced button (it is either there or on the general tab) From there, you can specify where the captured images go.

If you use PowerDVD to caputre the images by clicking on the little camera button they should be saved in a Picture directory under Program Files/Cyberlink. It saves all the images in BMP format from what I remember last time I used it.
