Extracting a single image from a DVD

I would like to know if Final Cut Pro or any of iMac programs have the factility to extract a single image (frame) from a playing DVD. If yes, once the image is captured into a Jpeg or Tiff, what is the best way to increase it's resolution good enough for lay into a book for printing. Or perhaps you know of any professional and high resolution programs that capture still images (frames) from a DVD. Thanks

Seems a bit of a waste to have to capture a movie clip in order to get a still picture.

  • How can I extract a single frame from a DVD?

    I have a DVD that contains a movie of some old slides.  Is there a way I can extract one image from the DVD?

    pause and screenshot the video
    To capture a portion of the desktop, press Command-Shift-4. A cross-hair cursor will appear and you can click and drag to select the area you wish to capture. When you release the mouse button, the screen shot will be automatically saved as a PNG file on your desktop.
    There are screenshot tools in Imovie and others such as Final Cut Pro as well for higher resolution

  • How can I restore a single image from an aperture time machine backup, do I have to restore the entire library? that does not make sense

    I hope there has been found a more efficiant solution for this,  how can I restore a single image from an aperture time machine backup, I really hope I don't have to restore the entire library? that does not make sense
    any suggestions?

    Did you try browsing your backups in the Finder ?  That is, do not go and "Enter Time Machine".  Instead, navigate to your Time Machine backup via Finder and then manually go to the time period (by folder name) you are looking for ... when you find your Aperture library you can then "Show Package Contents" and find the Master you are looking for.

  • Single Image from the Picture Library

    Hi All - I am trying to display single image from a picture library. I thought it is the simplest task of all to do in SharePoint. I am having hard time. The Picture Library List View Webpart is not displaying single image (created a view that will bring
    last updated image) on the blank webpage page. Then I tried the (new in 2013) Picture Library Slideshow Webpart. I set the List and View. It is still showing slideshow. Why is it showing slideshow if the view is pulling only single image. When I browse the
    Picture Library and its Single Image View (that I created to filter and show only last updated one), the view page is showing single image. I need to show this single image on the Webpart page. Could anybody please guide me what am i doing wrong?
    Regards,

    Just wondering, if your requirement is just to display an image using a webpart, have you tried a content editor webpart?

  • Getting an image from a DVD/Quicktime member

    Has anyone worked out how to grab a frame still from a DVD or Quicktime member (from within Director, directly or otherwise)
    I need to do this on both PC and Mac, but the mac one is more important to me at the moment.
    When I try and access the image property of such a member (DVD/Quicktime) it says 3 parameters wanted, which i guess is its way of saying 'no can do'
    DVD is hard wired DTS so I'm guessing its just not possible from within director. Does anyone know of a command line utility that could output an image from a DVD?
    QT - ???

    As you've noted, it's not possible with a DVD from within Director.
    With a QuickTime file you can open a MIAW, place a sprite on-stage whose member.directToStage = 0 and grab window.image. You don't need to explicitly open() the window to get its image, or you can open it but somewhere offscreen - assuming you need to do this at runtime and don't want your suers to see this happening.

  • When I put in a DVD, the mac locks up, an image from the DVD stays on the screen even when the dvd is removed.  The only way to remove the image if to do a hard shutdown.

    Is the hardware corrupt?

    Could you be a little more descriptive, does this happen with all DVDs? Please describe the type of DVDs you are attempting to use, commercial movies, blank DVDs, etc...

    If you have backup of archivelogs then you can restore archivelogs(one or more) using below command
    rman>restore archivelog from sequence 20 until sequence 21

  • Restore single image from managed library

    How does one restore a single image from a library, either managed or referenced. It seems that in Time Machine one does not have access to the individual files in a managed library as one does from the Finder.
    Is my conclusion then, that in order to be able to recover individual file(s) one should use a referenced library?

    The Aperture Restore from Vault as you know saves your current library and restores all managed photos from the Vault. Note, previews are not stored on the Vault so they need to be regenerated (at least that was true in Aperture 2 but I have not done a restore in Aperture 3).
    Referenced images are not stored on the Aperture Library or Aperture Vault, just the adjustments you make to the image. So if your image is mangled, but you know the external referenced image displays fine, say, in Preview, then something may have gone wrong with the adjustments or raw conversion etc. You can remove all adjustments on the mangled image and see if that corrects the display problem.
    If the external image itself is corrupted, then Time Machine will restore it hopefully to a prior 'good' version as you know. The contents of an Aperture Library can be individually referenced via the Finder but it's not something where you can replace any of the contents as I understand that will damage your library integrity.

  • Dragging a single image from mac Preview to InDesign CS6 doesn't work but 2 or more images does?

    I usually take anywhere form 2500 to 5000 photos in any single day's session. Because of this, I need an easy way to sort through them and grab just the one's I need to import to my InDesign "book". I have been using CS3 for years now, and what I always did was open up Preview on my Mac to browse all my days photos. Then when I found a good one, I would simply drag that single image over to my opened InDesign screen and just drop it into a page. I would then go back to Preview and continue this procedure until I had looked through all the days images. I could even drag multiple images over and once I was over InDesign I can just click each image and pop them into various pages with ease. Then I upgraded to CS6 and I've hit a kink in the works. When I drag over a single image to InDesign, before I drop it into the page my mouse pointer looks like 3 tiny paste images (the little rectangle with the folded down upper left corner). If I release my mouse to drop the image into InDesign, it just flys back to Preview and doesn't drop into InDesign. Now if I get 2 or more images from Preview, this process works just like it always did. But 1 single image... never. I've tried holding down command, shift, control, option, and combos of those buttons to see if anything changes and it never does. I always get the mouse icon with 3 little paste icons. In CS3 if I dragged a single image it would only show 1 paste icon and 3 icons if I dragged 2 or more, but not in CS6. Is there a setting I'm missing or a preference? I've tried looking through everything that I can find to no avail. There has to be a way??? Thanks!

    Use Bridge instead
    good luck

  • Extract Win8 serial number from Recovery DVD

    Hello, I recently had a failure of hard disk and had to install a new one. Unfortunately, getting a recovery DVD from HP took time so i started using a trail version of Windows 8. Finally my Recovery DVD arrived from HP and now i am trying to avoid installing the orginal OS from scratch. Anyway to extract just the windows serial number from the DVD? or may be install OS on top of the existing installation (i know this sounds crazy). Please help. I would hate to lose a bunch of softwares and documents that are already on this now. ENVY dv7 windows 8, 64 bit Thanks! Pradeep

  • Can I download images from a DVD created with a newer version of iPhoto?

    Hi, my first discussion forum! Why can't I download image files from a DVD created on my mother's computer(iMac G4 with Mac OS 10.4.11)?. She's running iPhoto6 and I'm running iPhoto5. Are'n't they compatible? The disc loads up OK then says at the bottom of iPhoto page "No Photos". Have tried with several disks. Many Thanks for yr help anyone.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    No, iPhoto 5 can't read a library or DVD created in iPhoto 6, because the structure of the libraries are much different.
    Your Mac should be able to read the DVD. Use the Finder to copy the contents of the disc to your Desktop. Then from iPhoto, you can File > Import to library the Originals folder that you copied from the DVD. If your mom did lots of photo editing, you could also import the Modified folder. However, there is no way for you to re-link the edits to their originals. You will not be able to access her keywords, titles, ratings, and other iPhoto organizational metadata.
    Regards.

  • Extracting JPEG preview image from DNG file

    My company is using the DNG SDK to support raw or DNG files for users of our digital asset management software. We extract a jpeg preview/thumbnail from ALL file types we support.
    My question is: how can we extract a jpeg preview from a DNG file, using the latest version of the DNG SDK?
    Currently, our software uses the SDK to read a DNG file and write a tiff file, and passes the tiff to imagemagick to get a resized jpeg we can use for a preview or thumbnail.
    When we extract the tiff from the customer's file, we get a base version of the image that does not show subsequent colour adjustments made in (eg) CS3; the customer would like to get a preview that shows (especially) the colour adjustments that have been made.
    I know the jpeg preview exists inside the DNG, I used exiftools to extract it,and it does show the colour adjustments made.
    How do I get that preview image out of the DNG file using the DNG SDK? Does the DNG SDK support that operation?
    The SDK has a lot of API, but not much documentation or samples to show usage.
    Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

    Maybe it isn't the smartest way, but this should work:<br /><br />... call info.Parse (host, stream) etc here - the usual stuff<br />{<br />     // find biggest jpeg image for preview<br />     unsigned int subMaxW=0;<br />     int subMaxI=-1;<br />     for(unsigned int i=0;i<info.fIFDCount;i++)<br />     {<br />          dng_ifd* pIFD=info.fIFD[i].Get();<br />          if (ccJPEG==pIFD->fCompression && 1==pIFD->fNewSubFileType)<br />          {<br />               if (pIFD->fImageWidth>subMaxW)<br />               {<br />                    subMaxW=pIFD->fImageWidth;<br />                    subMaxI=i;<br />               }<br />          }<br />     }<br />     if (subMaxI>=0) // load desired jpeg preview<br />     {<br />          unsigned int i=subMaxI;<br /><br />          dng_ifd* pIFD=info.fIFD[i].Get();<br />          if (ccJPEG==pIFD->fCompression && 1==pIFD->fNewSubFileType)<br />          {<br />               // seek to pIFD->fTileOffset[0] and load jpeg<br />          }               <br />     }<br />}

  • Imaging from external DVD player or an external usb hard drive

    Hey,
    At the High School i work at we are running Netware 6.0 SP5 and Zenworks
    4.01 ir6. We have Zen Partitions installed on most computers to store a
    local image in case the the computer needs to be re-imaged.
    However, we have a dilemma. Every now and then a hard drive will go in a
    computer.
    When we replace the hard drive with a new one, we install the Zen
    Partition, do the config and then our last step is to bring down an image.
    Unfortunately our only means of dropping down an image is from the network
    either through normal imaging or through multicast sessions.
    When we drop an image down from the network which takes up network
    bandwidth, it causes slow downs on the users computers and they start
    complaining. Our network is running at 100mb.
    Is there any way possible to image from an external DVD player or an
    external usb hard drive when dropping down an image to a new hard drive in
    the computer? Currently I have all my Zen Images on the external USB
    Maxtor 160gb hard drive and I also have Zen Images burnt to DVD's.
    If so, how do I go about doing this and is there documents on doing this?
    Thanks!!!

  • Extracting images from a DVD

    Hello,
    I would like to extract a couple of pictures from my holiday dvd, but the grab application doesn't work when the DVD application is running. Can anyone help?
    Thx
    Greg

    Yeah, grab and the like won't let run while DVD is opened. The program I use for that is VCL Media Player. People rant and rave about it, and it is good because of all the formats it plays. I can even have it read from a Video_TS folder, and then grab screen shots from there. Getting the shot you want can be tricky because I can't seem to get the frame-by-frame to work as nicely as in Quicktime, but this is a viable solution, plus its free!
