Last house on the left...
Wow! You are correct, sir. The onus of continuation is on you!
As soon as I figure out how to take a screenshot of a DVD, I'll post one.
I use VLC Media Player. It will play just about any type of file (including ISO's). To get a screenshot, right click on the "video" part of the window, and select "Snapshot."Quote:

Alternatively google until you find an image from the film.
Unfortunately, that won't work for all media players...but it's worth a shot.Quote:

1. in windows, print screen will not capture a dvd if you are using hardware acceleration, you'll just get a blank screen.
2. in mac, there is a snapshot application built in, I think it's in the Utilities folder by default. (not as easy as it was back in 9, where you just hit shift+open apple+3) same deal, though, if you are using your gpu to decode the movie, you can't take screenshots.
It's cmd+shift+3 in OSX.Quote:
