How do you make HQ pics from DVD's?
 

Power DVD isn't near the quality needed.

Does anyone know what software does this?

Thanks

Try WinDVD, it's picture quality superior since from the beggining. :thumbsup

This is doing it in a roundabout way, but it's simple if you have already ripped the DVD... tmpgenc can output to sequenced individual image files instead of encoding to video, so you can find your image(s) in 'source range' then export to file. The image files will be the same resolution as the source.

I totally don't remember the link, but I saw a program the other day designed to take two similar images and interpolate a single higher-resolution image. That was ideal for interlaced images, and I suspect would help a lot with making stills from DVD.

Here it is.

I saw a large screen cap the other day taken from a network TV show. The cap quality was better than even most high res photographs online.

Someone please help with this...

The best resolution you will get from a DVD is 504x744 (or something like this). This Apple program seems to be fine, but I guess it's ashit load of work to prepare the photos.

The best will be you do the screen caps of the DVD by hand. Take a scene without a lot of moving in there, so you will get the best results. I usually use WinDVD and the results are ok.
When you liek to take a screen cap, push the pause button and move on frame by frame until you will get the best picture on the screen.

The other way to work around this, will be like encode the dvd into avi very high resolution (uncompressed) and encode it to JPG (per frame 2 photos). Then throw out the stuff you do not like, but I think this will take a lot of disk space and time either

Best thing you can do is play the dvd on a high quality large tv then use a 5megapixel camera to take a picture of it paused on the scene you want.
