I have a new DVD player (it came with a laptop). I am able to capture pics directly from the DVD. I would like to take these pics and post them in the review (and in forum). Could anybody explain how to do this to the computer illiterate?

Better yet. How bout sending Blondie over so help me. That way I can direct her 1st solo scene at the same time.

Once the images are hosted (Steph can provide web space for this purpose), you can add them to your reviews using the standard HTML image tags (i.e. < img src=http://blah.blah.com/imagename.jpg >). As for the forum, look at the bottom of this page for the format to link to photos in the forum.

(Although I think it's slightly out of the forum's topic) What software are you going to use to make the vidcaps, Endo?

Is there freeware on the net available for the kind of taks Endorphin and I are inquiring about?

Ok, I see, the old Stamp key is still the better software.
But there's a plethora of progs out there for capturing frames and I'd like to know which is the best.
But I'll try a few myself once I get the DVD drive.

Endo/SB/Diesel,

The 2 most popular DVD software players are probably WinDVD and PowerDVD. They each have pros and cons but basically do the same thing i.e. view dvd's and capture images.
You can read a review of WinDVD here . I personally use PowerDVD.

I think there are free demos you can download for each player so you can try them out for a limited time.

Once I have captured the image I usually have to make adjustments for brightness, contrast etc using photo software such as Corel Photo House or similar.

That's the easy bit done.

To link images to your reviews or posts you need to have them stored on a web server. If you ask nicely Steph may be able to sort something out for you. You will be given a username and password to access the webserver and your webspace URL may look something like this https://forum.adultdvdtalk.com/endorphin/

Lets assume you have an image called picture.jpg on your pc or laptop. To "upload" this onto the webserver you need ftp (file transfer protocol) software. You can download free software on the net to do this or if you have Microsoft FrontPage it's built in.

When uploaded, the URL for the image will be something like https://forum.adultdvdtalk.com/endorphin/picture.jpg

To make the image appear inside a forum post you need to enclose the URL inside the html "image" tag i.e
< img
src="https://forum.adultdvdtalk.com/endorphin/picture.jpg"> along with any text.

In reviews you will probably have a "link" to your photos and to do this you use the html "anchor" tag. i.e.
< a
href="https://forum.adultdvdtalk.com/endorphin/picture.jpg"> Endo's picture
<
/a>
When someone clicks "Endo's picture" a new browser window will open with your image.

It's a lot to take in but keep at it.
