getting screen caps

i wanted to get some captures from some dvds to make some wallpaper for my desktop
microsoft media player says you can get a screen capture by right clicking and going to dvd features, but the screen capture option isnt there for me

This feature is only available if video mixing rendering is turned on in the Player and the DVD decoder and display hardware support video mixing rendering. To turn on video mixing rendering, on the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Performance tab. Click Advanced, and then, in the DVD Video area, select the Use video mixing renderer check box. Some display hardware only supports video mixing rendering if the screen resolution is set to 800 x 600 pixels and the color quality is set to 16-bit. For more information about changing screen resolution and color quality, see Windows Help.

Cyberlink's PowerDVD has a great screencap tool.

I second the PowerDVD option. Mine came free with my computer so I don't know how much it costs, if anything.
