I need help with capturing screen images off a DVD. I have the DVD in my DVD-ROM paused on the image I want to capture. I capture it as an 'Area Capture' and select the specific area of the image I want. Once done, my selection then opens as an active image in the PSP workspace which I can now work with. So far so good. But then I run into trouble. If I stop the DVD, I lose the captured image in PSP - it turns black. This seems to happen even when I save the image first. What am I doing wrong? How do I save the capture without it turning black? Can one of the resident Paint Shop Pro experts please help me out?

You need to use your dvd program to capture the image...It won't work with PSP

It has to do with Direct X I believe.

Check Cnet for a program called Any Capture Screen. It takes a few minutes to get the hang of. Its a trial version though.

Thanks Joey, I'll give that a try.

Btw, Dr. Dean, Bowling is not a "mockumentary" - that would imply it's something innocent and satiric like This is Spinal Tap - it's more like straight propaganda along the lines of Leni Riefenstahl. But could you imagine Olympia ever winning an Oscar? Just shows how shallow and agenda-oriented Hollywood can be. But not to threadcrap in my own thread...
