When I watch a DVD movie, and I like one of that screenshot in the movie, how can I save it down?

Thanks

in xine, there's a screenshot button on the player control window or you can type "t" with the focus on the player window or player control. don't know how to do it on mplayer though.

u could use kSnapshot its a screen capturing program and u could capture a specific windows if u want

The Gimp can also do screen grabs.

you'll often find that you will get nothing but a blue screen when taking video screen shots, as the video image is being sent directly to the graphics device, not routed through software, meaning that when you go to capture the "screen" there is actually no image to capture. if you're using mplayer (which seeing as it got more than twice as many votes as crappy xine in our poll, is likely...!) choose a lower level video output, such as x11 (as opposed to xv) and then any standard screenshot should be find. alternatively mplayer can easily dump a certain number of frames direct from the video

mplayer -vo jpeg -ss 12:34 -frames 3

will save the first 3 frames after 12 mins 34 secs.

Could you maybe explain how to do that? How to change the settings (and maybe more importanty for people like, how to change them back?).

I don't quite know where and how to start...

I tried to find more information on the forums but had no luck. If you know another thread that has discussed this in more detail (or a tutorial/howto somewhere) I would be glad to read it.
