In Windows Media Player Classic, you could open up DVDs and just about every type of video format in it. When you pause it press F5 and it'll save the cap in the My Pictures folder as a BMP file.

Then use Paint or download the free program IrfanView to convert it to a gif or jpeg.

You could also open up the VOBs from the DVD in a free program called DGIndex, and it has a snapshot feature in it under the file menu. It'll save them as BMPs. There's also a lot of other free methods some already mentioned.

Anyway hope that helps. ^_^

Bloodseeker, if you don't have media player classic, it is a free download from sourceforge.net ,this is the page. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... _id=314365

Download the file you need, 98 or xp, unzip it and put it in one of your files, like my documents or program files and creat shortcuts for it. It doesn't need to install since it is a stand alone application. click on it and run it. I found it will play dvd's that windows media player 9 won't play. The F5 screen capture is fun. Convert the picture to a jpeg with paint or any other image program and your ready to post it. By the way irfanview is a neat free image viewer and editor. You can find it by searching on google.
Where did you say I'm going?.... And what am I doing in a handbasket?
