Win DVD 9 pro

Post by chris c »

does the WinDVD 9 blu ray player have a frame capture mode so that I am able to pause a movie and take stills from the blu ray disc please? If so is it easy to do, as in previous Win DVD player recorders I have installed on my computer or is it more complex ?
Many thanks,

Chris C

I don't have a Blue Ray Player but I do have WinDVD 9 "Blue Ray"
I just tried and was able to save a still image from a standard definition DVD.

I cannot see that it would work with one format and not another and so would anticipate that it will capture a Blue Ray Screen shot.
I can only advise upon my findings with the equipment I have which currently does not include Blue Ray.

The answer is no, initially you could certainly in PDVD but this was disabled to prevent copying of Blu ray movies a frame at a time :roll: .

Though obviously it can be done but alas not with WinDVD or PDVD, as evidenced by Blu ray web reviews resplendent with screen captures.

Thanks for the update, shows how crazy the "Anti Piracy Police" are if they think that someone is going to go through a Video extracting it frame by frame.

A typical PAL video = 25 frames per second
60 seconds = 1 minute so that would be 25 x 60 = 1500 frames
60 minutes = 1 hour so that would be 1500 x 60 = 90000 frames.

Someone would have to be a really sad idiot to go to all that amount of trouble. Bureaucracy gone mad again.
