This tutorial will guide you to take a screenshot, screen dump or screen capture from a DVD.

First we need to install a free software (open source) called Media Player Classic

Download:

Media Player Classic for Windows XP and Windows 2000
Media Player Classic for Windows ME and Windows 98

The software doesnt even need any installation. Simply extract the .zip and run the mplayerc.exe
DVD Screenshot - mplayerc.exe

This brings up the Windows Media Player Classic.

Click on File > Open DVD…
Media Player Classic - Open DVD

This starts playing your DVD movie.
DVD Screenshot - Play DVD
(yes the screen is blank here… cause you cannt capture dvd screenshot with traditional PrintScreen key)

Now when are at the screen you capture, click on the pause button.
DVD Screenshot - Pause Movie

Click on File > Save Image…
DVD Screen Capture - Save Image

Save the file.
DVD Save Image

You should pay attention that you save the file as JPEG (.jpg)

    On DVD, full-screen is 720×480 and wide screen is ALSO 720×480. However, wide-screen has a flag that tells the player it is in anamorphic format (that is, squashed left-right). It is the player that expands such flagged video out to wide-screen. If MPC displays your DVD as wide-screen, it’s “File > Save Image” also should save the snapshot as wide-screen.

    Confirm that “View > Video Frame > Keep Aspect Ratio” is “checked” and “View > Video Frame > Override Aspect Ratio” is set to “Default”.

    If you can’t work out why the snapshots save squashed rather than wide-screen, use your paint program to manually resize them to wide-screen size 852×480.

    Technical note: 720×480 on a DVD is equal to 640×480 on the computer due to aspect ratio of the different displays.

    If you get the “getCurrentImage() fail : hr = 8000ffff” error then you need to change the rendering.

    From the Media Player Classic Menu bar go to
    “View” “Options”

    Under the “Playback” item in the left pane
    select “Output”

    If you have “Overlay Mixer” selected under Direct Show Video then you can’t do image captures (as it states in the first footnote).

    Select a different radio button such as “VMR9 Renderless” (which worked for me) and try that.

    Note that “System Default” might not work either if you system defaults to “Overlay Mixer”.

    thank you~ i had tried disabling the hardware acceleration in windows media player but ended up with an image in paint that would move when the movie moved, so I’m ecstatic this method actually got me the captures I wanted!
