Jahled Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I'm just sort of wondering how people 'capture' bits of DVDs to use as gifs. Any of you guys know what software I need to use? It's my sincere wish to really go to town with Jabba the Hut and Lo Pan from Big Trouble in Little China before I die... http://www.jahled.co.uk/smallmonkeywars.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahled Posted February 17, 2006 Author Share Posted February 17, 2006 HELP!!! Screen capturing twenty or so frames to get a gif is involving horrible file sizes comming and going on my PC! Someone, elsewhere, suggested software called DVD Rip but I can't find it as freeware, anyone know something simular? http://www.jahled.co.uk/smallmonkeywars.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthTofu Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 Yeah, BTW, Mad, hitting printscreen doesn't save the screen... Should I have paint open or something when I hit the button? 12/14/07Nu kyr'adyc, shi taab'echaaj'la Not gone, merely marching far away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWR Staff - Executive Evaders99 Posted February 18, 2006 SWR Staff - Executive Share Posted February 18, 2006 Well I guess it depends on what DVD program you have. I'm using PowerDVD and it has a simple button to generate save the screen to an image file. Very handy. Unfortunately it will be hard to do it this way if you are attempting to actual capture motion at a certain frame rate for GIFs Evaders99http://swrebellion.com/images/banners/rebellionbanner02or6.gif Webmasterhttp://swrebellion.com/images/banners/swcicuserbar.png Administrator Fighting is terrible, but not as terrible as losing the will to fight.- SW:Rebellion Network - Evaders Squadron Coding -The cake is a lie.

I'm using PowerDVD like Evaders below, and of course can (and do!) screen capture. The problem is the subsequent 20 mbs of bitmaps I have to work with in PS to create something 'moving.' Whilst I say it's a problem, it's more of a hassle, and I just thought it would be easier if there was some software where I could capture a sequence of frames, with compression features as well... http://www.jahled.co.uk/smallmonkeywars.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
