Is there a quick and easy way to get clear, clean, focused screen captures from a DVD? When I look it up on line the instructions quickly go beyond my limited computer skills and the function keys don't seem to do anything. I want to save images from movies and use them as a guide for model building.

Thanks.

Did you try ALT+Print Screen combo? Captures current Window. What operating system? IIRC Windows7 has a screen "Snip" tool.

ALT + Print Screen does nothing.

Windows 7 Home Premium.

Thanks.

Mike,

Try ScreenHunter's free version. Just Google it. There are a bunch of download sites. It works a lot better than the built in Windows functions.

Does the DVD software have a screen cap function? I know VLC does.

Tried the Snip function, it worked!

Thank you all, I will try ScreenHunter too.

I can't find a screen cap function on the DVD software.
