Boba Rhett Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 The video information is being sent to the screen in a different way than normal. You'll need a program like Power DVD to capture screenshots from DVDs. You may be able to find a demo of it at http://www.download.com
legameboy Posted March 27, 2003 Author Posted March 27, 2003 thnk ye, also, do you know a program that you can peice pictures together to make a gif? its somthing like GIF works and you can get a free 30 day trial of it, help me look for it please
legameboy Posted March 27, 2003 Author Posted March 27, 2003 oh, i checked that Power DVD and it is to copy dvds not take screenshots of one
swphreak Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 (edit your existing post instead of double posting) I heard some one mention "Hypersnap." It takes a picture of whatever is on your screen. Also, make all the pics you want into GIFs and then get "Unfreeze" and it puts GIFs together as one animated GIF.
Boba Rhett Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 Shwa? I'm not sure what you were looking at. Go here: PowerDVD XP 4.0 Also, for piecing images together I use Macromedia Flash.
setsuko Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 Yup, when it comes to animations, Flash is the ****.
swphreak Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 I used UnFreeze to make my Jessica Alba avy. I'm still learning Flash and my trail run expired. I guess I gotta get my dad to ask one of his work buddies if I can borrow their Flash MX CD to burn it....... ahhh it's awesome when your dad is fiends with computer "geeks" at work. I got Photoshop from them too. No way I'm paying 400 dollar for them
legameboy Posted March 27, 2003 Author Posted March 27, 2003 yeah i know how to use flash but you cant save those flash animations as gifs can you?
Jan Gaarni Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 Yes, I believe you can. Just go to File, then Publish As ... I think. Or something like that. Don't have it right in front of me at the moment, I'm still at work. EDIT: Ok, I'm home now. Step by step, here's how you do it. First, save your project the normal way, just in case. Second, go to File ==> Publish Settings Up comes a window. Deselect Flash (if HTML does not automatically deselect aswell, then do so manually), and select GIF instead. In the same window, go to the GIF options, select Animated, not Static. As for the other options there, you'll just have to figure out by trial and error, cause I've never done it myself. When you have set all options the way you want, press Publish and wait till it's finished. Hope this helps.
legameboy Posted March 28, 2003 Author Posted March 28, 2003 alright thank you it will be alot esier now, can sum1 mention another screenshot taker that will take screenshots of dvds playing on your computer?
