DVD Screengrab software

[Squiggy]

I'm looking to rip a screen cap every 10 seconds or so from a DVD, sort of like what Trekcore has.

Anyone have any suggestions of some software that does this?

A good player, a stopwatch, patience, and a "printscreen" button?

Nuts to that!

I've just done something like that -If I could just remember what software I was checking out at the time... must've been some DVD authoring thing... I think...

^That sounds interesting TheGallifreyanSith!

Meanwhile I've remembered what I did:

Drag the VOB file into Media Player Classic.
File > Save Thumbnails...
Specify how many by how many thumbnails you want and the width of the image you want to make

The result is something like this:


(Click thumbnail for full 1024x838 pxl 197 kb image)

KMplayer does everything. Trust me, you'll never look back once you use it.
The automated screencap thingy is a godsend for animated gifs, and you can easily set it to cap every 10 seconds.

Looks like a good little freebie

I can't find the screencap option/settings.

I can't either.

Help please.

Right click while playing a video and look for Options and select Advanced Menu. Right click again and look for Capture. Looks like all of the Capture options are there.

Also, you can hit Ctrl+G.

I use it for animated avatars. Having it capture every three frames seems to do the trick.

Got it. Thanks.

VLC Player does it for free (VideoLAN). This is the only video viewing software one should use, IMO. It plays most everything (even without codecs).

There's also a much better software if you have the file in .avi form called VirtualDubMod. You can go frame by frame with the arrow keys with this software (Ctrl+1 copies the picture) and then I layer the frames in Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0. This is what I use for my .gifs (see left).

I love VLC when playing DVDs but how do you make it do this?

Have a look in the SciTech forum. There's a sticky with literally dozens of free Windows apps, I'm pretty sure there's screencaps s/w in there.

^I've found an abundance of great stuff there too!

I'd also like to point out that Spiff sold me on it.
