windows movie maker actually does a pretty good job and it's free

anything else? something that would batch capture every x frame a picture straight from the DVD?

PowerDVD does ok captures but you have to actually watch the movie and click for every pic you want.

We capture a whole movie from miniDV tape to hard drive (with original quality) and take high-res screenshots (620 X 480). We use Pinnacle Studio 7

I don't think that program is intented to be for commercial use.

I use FMV4 for pic extraction. But I extract them from the avi file not from the dvd itself.
The pics on the url posted above are nice but they forgot the de-interlace function so you get those tv-lines on parts where the image is blured.

Doesen't that distort the picture too much for you?

(not constraining the proportions of the aspect ratio)

I believe a 720 X 480 image would reduce down to 620 X 413 if you constrain the proportions.

Hmm.. the proportions are right
may be we crop them?

Oh, I see it's actually 640 X 480

I do it by hand with Premiere just because some frames look a lot better than others (less motion blur etc.). But one thing that makes a huge difference with the quality of your stills is using a *ton* of light while you're filming.
