I know you can make J-PEG pics direct from DVD's, but is there any way of doing the same with WMV clips and M-PEG's?

BSPlayer plays almost all formats from the box and it can grab screenshots from any source.

Not sure what DVD software you have on your system Mojo, but Win DVD snaps photos.

The low-tech solution on a windows PC is to take a screen capture followed by a paste & edit in an image editor. you may need to turn off DirectShow using dxdiag .exe.

don't forget to turn DirectShow back on after you're done.

What is "BSPlayer"?

The only after market special CD/DVD editing program I've got is Roxio. Can that do it, 'cause as far as I can tell the normal players WMV, Real Player etc. don't seem to have the ability to capture frames from WMV's and M-Pegs?

BSPlayer: Click here. The free version has no limitations.
With VLC media player and Media Player Classic, it's the best independent player available. Plays Apple too, as long as you have the codecs.

Sbando, I've now downloaded the player and found the function to take J-PEG frame shots, but for the life of me I can't find where it's saving them to??? Do you know?

vlc saves them into "own pictures" or how the folder is called in English.

It saves them in its own folder (most likely: C:\Program Files\Webteh\BSplayerPro) until you set up a different folder. Press Ctrl+P, General, General Settings, bottom left "Directory for captured images".
It works with Quicktime too, as long as you have the codec installed, and with ram files too, but I never tried that.
You can ffd and rewind avi's, create bookmarks and a bunch of other things. And it's FREE. And it's not sending your credit card number or your fiancée's home address to Sony or Microsoft.
VLC is also ver good.

Thanks for the help there. I managed to redirect the saves, but I still couldn't find the original saves. No big deal. At least I can now save the pics to somewhere I can find.

Frame Shots (previously called Snatch It!) is perfect for doing this. It grabs high quality stills from just about any computer video format.

You can download a free version that works with most of the features in tact, but it will put a transparent watermark across the image grab. Buying the real version removes all of this.
