Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 users question..
 

I have my DVD player hooked up to my computer. I want to get the BEST quality screen caps that I can.

Can anyone give me any pointers on doing this?

dvd quality isn't the best, IMO.

i'd drop the dvd's onto your harddrive, create a new project, and then CTRL-M away.

best caps i've seen come off a DV-tape...

DVD's, as far as I've tried, don't work as well. And I don't think there's anything you can do, except get into photoshop from there.

best of luck!

the cleanest are from DV for sure....but if you stick your project into the timeline and go into export timeline, and select tiffs instead of AVI export.....remember to change the framerate to 1 or so, not 29.97 or you'll be grabbing every frame.

Before I had captured an AVI and then done screen caps every 1 second as TIFFS and dumped them to a directory....

These guys werent very clear and gave me problems..

Is there a better file type? Or is there a way to bypass the capturing to avi and just get it straight from the DVD?

I just got adobe premiere 1.5 pro. Can anyone recommend any good books. The book that came with it scare me!

whoops --

crtl-shift-M is the short cut for exporting the frame as a bitmap. that's all i ever do, and they come out pretty damn good...from my original DV-tape i shot.

dvd's aren't as clear. not even close :(

Deinterlace.
