Does anyone know the best way of getting these? I apologize if it's something super simple that doesn't require a program, otherwise tips would be appreciated. I have Vista.

And I know it's more tech-support, but I'm sure the movie buffs here can give me a faster answer or could use it themselves if they're ignorant like me.

I think you can do that with Nero, although I haven't been able to use my (totally, 100% legal I swear) copy since it started asking for a serial number.

Did you check your DVD player software to see if there is a screengrab or save frame option?

What I usually wind up doing is opening the DVD in VLC player and that can grab a snapshot of whatever video it's playing.

well I'll be god fucking damned.

All I have is WMP and I can't seem to find an option for this. What's VLC?

its a media player, support most video types.

You can download it here

Its worth getting.

VLC is perfect, thanks.

Yea it's pretty sweet. Mind you, for a couple reasons I still ultimately prefer WMP10 for the bulk of my daily video viewing, but VLC is a great secondary player to have because I don't think I've yet heard of someone coming across even the strangest video file and not being able to get it to play in VLC. I've even found if I've got DVD files broken down on my desktop, it can open one of the vob's. And of course the easy screen capture abilities. Some videos for whatever reason simply won't allow me to take a grab of them in WMP10, but I can take from anything in VLC.

Are you watching Wild Things again?

Nah, this really weird artsy flick called The Holy Mountain. Not so great plotwise but I wanted to grab some of the really good images before I send it back. Here are some of the fruits of my labor.
