PowerDVD Tip
hi :D
most of you probably already know about this already.. but thought I would share in case anyone didnt.. I searched the memories first, but didnt see it there.. so hope its ok to post it...
I was capping with powerdvd tonight and discovered something quite by accident... actually, it was my seven year old son who discovered it.. he was by pressing "C" on the keyboard to cap some stuff.. (to use to make him a desktop wallpaper) and he accidently held the key down for too long... and we discovered it had capped every frame for about 3 seconds! *every* frame. which was 20+ pictures.
I usually use virtualdub to grab frames for making mini-movies, because I thought that was the easiest way to get the frames quickly. Instead of using powerdvd by pressing "C" then "T" to move one frame forward then pressing "C" again, I would just load it up in virutaldub, select the part I wanted, and save it as frames...
But thanks to the kiddos little trick, I ended up with enough caps to make a mini movie if I wanted in the program I use for capping. Which makes me very happy! :D
So yeah.. holding down the "C" key in powerdvd will cap every frame for as long as it is held down.
hope this tip is of use to someone :D
ETA: it seems this only works when capping from an actual DVD.. and not when capping .avi files : (
