did you try Graphic Converter to open the png with?
Just curious

I am currently writing an academic paper for a film class I am taking where I need to describe how the film is edited and the actors' movements are blocked out across the set.
I want to illustrate the analysis of the scene with actual screen captures of the scene as it unfolds. Can anyone suggest a good utility (cheap or free is preferable) that can capture images from a DVD as it plays on my iBook? In addition... the pictures have to be high enough quality that I can print them within the text of my paper and/or be used in a powerpoint presentation for my class. If there is any question in anyone's mind, I did purchase the DVD in question so I do own a legal copy of the movie I'm analyzing and writing about.
I had already tried the snap shot feature in VLC... it snapped a PNG file but I can't seem to open it. I have also thought about ripping the movie to disc in an mpeg-4 format and seeing if my copy of QT pro would do the screen caps but I hesitate to do this before exploring other methods.
The mac is a 1.2 ghz G4 iBook running tiger 10.4.9
Thanks in advance for any and all tips.

BTW... if there is a similar solution but for a windows platform, I would still appreciate any suggestions.
