    Open Cyberlink Power DVD software, Right Click the DVD Screen that pop's up
    Choose Configure, Player Settings Tab, Advanced Tab, Snapshot Tab,
    Capture to File, Browse, Choose My Pictures, OK.

    Now choose file size etc etc.... Dont forget if you Watch a DVD in full screen
    the File size options can be affected, so just have a twiddle....

    To Capture a frame just play a DVD then click letter "C" on your keyboard
    and it will capture as a .BMP to the earlier specified folder i.e "My Pictures"

    Thanks for that Mr S.
    However, i put my dvd in and opened poewr dvd. I have tried right clicking all over but no success. Where should i be right clicking- you say the dvd screen that pops up? Do you mean on the actual film?

    Thanks for any help given.

    I know that Intervideo WinDVD has a screen shot function!

    Press P during playback.

    I've tried that and nothing happens :confused:

    Downloaded free trial of PowerDVD and it's easy to capture a screenshot with that , but is it just me or can't you fast forward or rewind with PowerDVD? I can't see how to do it apart from using the slidy thing at the top which is frustrating or using step forward ?
