harddrive in a standard video format, a video editor can extract stills from the video. Sony Vegas, for example, can do this if you are using a PC. The stills that I've captured are not high quality images. It takes some time and effort in Photoshop to correct their shortcomings.
Hey there...does anyone know how to get stills or screen shots from a dvd? I created a short film a while ago and figured I could just use Grab on the Mac or "Print Screen" on the PC to get still shots of the movie as it played...however, it doesn't work at all. All I get on the PC is a black area where the DVD window is, and on the Mac it won't let me use Grab at all while the DVD player is open. Does anyone know a way around this? I'm on a tight deadline so any and all feedback is VERY welcome! Thanks everyone!
