Screen grabs on UD.com

Hi!

I'm new around the forums, but have been visting ud.com for a long time as it is such a great site!

I have an odd question: I'm curious what program is used for the screen grabs that are on the reviews for the various Disney DVDs. Does anyone know what program the site uses?

I've used a couple programs and haven't been *very* happy with the results and was curious to try the one being used here.

MANY thanks in advance!
-Jeff

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for the kind word. I'm glad you registered for the forum.

I use WinDVD 2.1 for the screencaps, and Paint Shop Pro to resize. Newer versions of WinDVD unfortunately don't allow you to take screencaps. That's a shame, since it's one of the best things about a DVD-ROM drive.

I am interested in making screen caps too, but my interactual player won't allow me to do that. I tried to search for a download of this Windvd 2.1, but I can't find a download ANYWHERE! I found Platinum 5.7, but no 2.1, do you know where I could possibly find a download?

I also was wondering how to do it but I really didn't want to buy a program.

I got the trail version of Intervideo WinDVD 5. Works great and takes screengrabs. Because it's only a trial, you only get 30 days. It's the time to take out your collection and take you favourite screens, if you decide to go this way! :lol:

What's the website, and what's the cost to buy it after the 30 days are up? Thanks :)
