What programs can take screenshots from DVDs?

[NotoriousJTC]

My friend is having problems taking screenshots from her DVDs on her PC. She says they come back as black images. At this time, i do not know what software she is currently using to view her DVDs.

I know PowerDVD can take ss's from DVD's, but do you guys know any other programs that can do that as well? Preferably free and easy to use?

TIA

it doesnt matter what program he or she uses, its a windows thing, it just copies the screen buffer memory, she must be doing something wrong because i have done this many times. (with powerdvd no less)

The Screen Savers had a bit on this, check this out (all the way to the bottom).

"You can't use the Print Screen button to capture DVD screen shots. When you play a DVD in Windows, Windows doesn't really know that a DVD is playing. The video is playing in a video overlay, which plays on top of Windows"


It was PoverDVD that allowed you to do it
