Screen grabs!
OK guys, anyone know some software (pref FREE!), that will enable you to make photo quality screen grabs from a DVD (my laptop has an inbuilt one so no need for hooking it upto one) and then print them out?
Any info much appreciated

Which DVD player software are you using? Many of them have a screen capture function that grabs the image and makes a .bmp file that you can then print via a graphics programme.
Googling for dvd screen capture shows up lots of software, but I can't vouch for any of it.

A friend reports that he has successfully used software from http://www.any-capture.com/ I've not tried it, so cannot personally vouch for it.
Doesn't Alt-PrtScr, then paste into Paint and press Print work?
