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.

Using a script to get specific itens from a dvd

How can I get specific itens from a dvd using a list of archives.
for example: I have a list exel ou text containing the files I'd like to extract from this dvd ...Is it possible? put this list working to copy these files?
thank you very much.....

If you're a professional photographer with 50,000 pictures stored now and more coming all the time, you need to forget about using iPhoto and get yourself some professional-quality digital asset management software. iPhoto is not meant for people like you, and instead of providing a simple, elegant one-stop answer to all your needs, iPhoto is actually complicating your life.
You need an application that will:
- catalog ALL your images and keep track of where they are, no matter how many DVDs, folders, partitions or hard drives they're spread over;
- display thumbnails of ALL of them, even when the DVD that contains them is not present in any drive, so you can select all the ones you want for a project;
- find and copy (or export) the originals of all the files you've selected in the browser window, even if it means prompting you to insert the necessary DVDs for all of them.
I suggest Googling "digital asset management software Macintosh" and seeing what turns up. I used to use an old version of Extensis Portfolio, and even that would have been better for your purposes than iPhoto is.

Is it possible to get the image from the i pad when mirroring via Apple TV to fill the screen instead of appearing as a screen within a screen?

When mirroring, is it possible to get the image from the ipad to fill the screen on the TV instead of appearing as a screen within a screen?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
No, the iPad has an aspect ratio of 4:3, a TV has an aspect ratio of 16:9, to fit one into the other is impossible without distorting the picture. If your TV has a zoom feature, you may be able to use this to fill the screen a little more to your liking, but this will result in cropping top and bottom.

Also, you can use Cmd+Shift+4 and you'll get a cursor which you click+drag to draw a box. When you release the drag the boxed in area will be saved to the Desktop as a jpg file.

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...

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 get the images from a picture ring into a cell in Excel?

Hi
I need to get the chosen image from a picture ring into a cell in a Excel worksheet. If i use an invoke node i only get to write a picture from file. How can i get the picture directly from the picture ring into Excel?
Kenneth

No, there is no simple way of doing it directly. You need some clipboard manipulation which means you need to write some codes in excel as well. Importing the image through a file is much easier.

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.

How to get full image from adress book contact

I'm trying to get the full image out of an address book contact. All my basic code is working. The problem that I am having is that for all contacts with images the returned image size is 320x320.
Playing around I have edited contacts, through Contacts.app, by setting a full 320x480 image. I set such an image on my own contact and called my iPhone from a different number. Sure enough when the phone rings the phone displays the full screen original image as I picked it.
So the contact seem to have the full 320x480 image associated with it. But, when I use the ABAddressBook functions to get this same image from the contact, the returned image data says the image is 320x320. And if I display this image data into a view it appears as a square with the top and bottom 80 pixels chopped off.
Has anyone else run into this? Any ideas?

Hey Rick,
I am also working on the same feature. I was also able to retrieve everything fromt eh addressboook. But I have not worked for image as I am not able to design the same GUI for Add New Record, or Info page as present in iPhone. I am facing a problem of adding UIImageView in the design of grouped table cell. and Give the big gap between the UIImage and Table cell where First,Lat Name and Occupation is being present.
Plz help in design view.
Thanx

I have opened my trial of photoshop,but cant figure out how to get an image in.

Hi,
The first video on https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/learn/start/photoshop.html shows you one way to do this: If you open Photoshop, just drag the image file from Explorer/Finder into the PS workspace (or even just to the PS icon).
Another way is to open Photoshop, select File > Open from the menu, and navigate to your image.
Hope this helps,

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!!!
