I'm pretty sure you can just right click the DVD window and go to "Frame Grab" or "Capture Image", or something like that. It'll come up with a tumbnail of it and you can click a button that looks like a floppy disc and it'll save to your hardrive.

hello everyone! some new tutorials, done by me. scotti but them on the first post of this topic:
Taking Part of a Picture for a Avatar (NEED: MS Paint)
http://home.cablerocket.com/~p.b.sheppa ... amaker.bmp
Sorry for the large file size, but you can use MS Paint and the Transparent Cut-and-Paste feature to make a black box around a 100x100 pixel image. If black is common in your picture, you should "fill" the outline of the box it to a color that is NOT common with the picture, so u can then "fill" it to be white after. Just crop and save.
Resizing and compressing using irfanview (NEED: irfanview)
Open the image with irfanview, then "Image -> Resize/Resample (Ctrl-R)" change the proportions to 100x100, and BOOM! An avatar sized picture!
To save the image, go "File -> Save as (S)". There are two possible ways to save your new avatar. If there are not to many different colors, u can choose to save it as a .gif file. These pictures are less blurred then .jpg's, and have the option of making one color transparent by checking "Save Transparent Color -> Choose Transparent Color During Saving" (you click a pixel that u want to be transparent, this is usually white), but are bigger files. The other option is to save it as a .jpg. You save it, then go to where u save it and open up the properties and check the size. It has to be under 6KB. Go back to irfanview, move the "JPEG - Save Quality" sliding bar towards the left a little, and save it again (over right the old picture). Go and check the properties, to see if its under 6KB. This takes some practice, but it gets the file JUST UNDER 6KB, making it the best quality possible.
