Dear fellow CreateBloggers,
I've been wondering...how do you take screenshots of dvds playing on your computer? I've just finished Phantom of the Opera (it was terrific :D) and I really wanted to make a signature out of a blend with some scenes...but it didn't work; it basically just took a screenshot of everything EXCEPT the movie scene... It would really help if I knew, if anyone knows, please tell me! Thanks in advance, Alice |

Sorry for replying late, but just in case you might still have been wondering...
Just open up another dvd player after Videolan (like windows media player, for instance) and take a screenshot of that. It's because of some overlay setting that's been shut off on the dvd player you opened second. No idea why, but it works. |

if that doesn't work, I would try not playing it in full screen, and pausing the video at the screen shot you want, before taking the screen shot.
