Screen Capture for Video?

Hi all,
I would like to do the following two things:
*_ITEM A:_*
1) Insert a DVD.
2) Hit the Pause Button.
3) Get a Screen Shot of just the still frame.
*_ITEM B:_*
1) Insert a DVD.
2) Capture only say a 25 second segment out of a 2 hour DVD and save it in a separate file (QT, AVI, MPEG, etc).
Is there a way to do this within the OS? And before anyone answers, no the Grab functionality does not work with either of the two "Items" above. If there is not a way to do this within the OS, any other suggestions for software would be appreciated.
I have a MacBookPro, Tiger 10.4.1 running Parallels and Windows XP. So the software can be either MAC or PC based.
Thanks in advance!

Hi
You're right, the built-in screen grabs do not work with DVD Player.
First, use VLC Player to play a DVD that you want to screencap, and you will be able to use the normal screengrab keystrokes to get stills.
For movies, you should look into Snapz Pro.

What is best screen capture for video to be edited in FCP?

Hello:
I need to add some video from a client's website to include in a video being edited in ye olde FCP 7.
The rest of the video is ProRes 422.
Is there a screen capture software package that can capture in a compatible format and be high resolution enough?
I have looked at ScreenFlow and Camtasia for Mac but they don't have much info on their sites about video specs.
Client wants to capture a webcast and show the video in context of the website it plays on.
I could just shoot the screen with my HD camera but I'm hoping there is something better out there.
Oh - and yes... I have thought of cheating it.... superimposing the original video into a screen grab of the website but the client doesn't have the original video.
Thanks for any info.

I've been using Camtasia recently and there's a 30 day trial

And you can record the entire screen or choose just a smaller area. Great for capturing video on a website

Screen capture for posting video to website

I used iShowU for taking screen capture videos then edited with iMovie and posted them to our website. I am wondering if there is a better application out there for Mac users? Any information as well as posting it to the site is helpful! How to keep the file size down while quality high.
Thanks

What is the question? It's unclear what you are asking.
Is it ...
Is there a better app for screen capture?
or
How do I reduce the size of the edited files for web use?

PC Video screen capture for AE importing?

Does anybody know of a good screen capturing utility for the PC that I can import the files of into AE?
Currently Im using Camstudio but the results Im getting are very poor and when I import them into AE it doesnt handle them very well at all (very choppy play back - very choppy indeed)
I use Snapz at home on my mac which works perfectly - but I dont know of anything as good for the PC :(
any help would be much appreciated - many thanks!
Nick

ok- ive got the demo of camtasia - its good, but I think perhaps im asking too much of it. Im trying to capture quite large flash websites, but it always ends up quite jerky :(
One of the sites Im trying to grab is www.playhousedisney.co.uk but im not having much luck :(
Does anybody know of any hardware accelerated way of grabbing websites like this without any frame loss or jerkiness?
thanks again for all your help!

Best screen capture for using with premiere elements?

i have been scouring the net to figure out how to get better results than what i'm getting with the camstudio (love the program, and it looks great until i pull it into premiere). I have read that it can be a codec issue or an fps issue, but before i follow those trails, i was wondering if there is a screen capture software that works well with premiere, without a lot of hassle. (not necessarily free, just reliable and hassle free with good quality in premiere elements) Anyone have experience with this?
thanks in advance!

Well, we've used Camtasia and Adobe's Captivate to make tutorials for http://www.muvipix.com. They're both excellent, and I've never had a problem with either.
Chuck Engels is really the expert on both those program though. You can find him on the Muvipix forum daily.
Steve.
Would you please provide an update to the process of screen capture? What does muvipix.com and lynda.com use? I'm considering a project where my granddaughters create a couple of training videos for kids. It's a dream, but might work!
Thanks.

Screen Capture with Video of Presenter

How do I make a screen capture with a video of the presenter (me). Is this built into captivate? It is simple with Camtasia. I could not find this option in captivate. Does it exist?

Sorry, doesn't exist in Captivate. Perhaps try Adobe Presenter Video Creator.
Sounds like you already have Camtasia, I'd stick with that for this type of work. Actually, if you want full motion video, Camtasia is the better choice, Especially when it comes to the editing process.
Captivate rocks for the slide by slide capturing and creating interactive "video" type output. But Camtasia leaves it in the dust when it comes to the full motion video. Camtasia sucks for creating interactive type videos that Captivate does. Just different tools for different workflows.

Screen captures for a 720p project?

What is the best way to take screen captures/grabs and prepare them for being placed in a 720p project?
Thanks.

1. Any idea what determines the resolution of the screen shot?
Usually the dimensions of the monitor, but you changed it and it still took it at 1920x1200...so you got me.
2. What would I do if I want to bring in screen captures into a 1080p project and I want to do zooms and pans on these images
Make the dimensions larger than 1920x1080. You can do that in Photoshop. At least twice the size. Photoshop does a better upscale than FCP when it comes to stills.
how can I take a higher resolution version of these screen captures?
No idea.

Taking screen captures from video

I have a video on iphoto and i want to know if there is a way to save screen captures from that video. Thank you

With "Grab" you can capture the screen, a window, a section, or a timed screen.
You will find "Grab" in Applications -> Utilities.
Just start "Grab", and then in iPhoto navigate your video to the frame you want to capture, then take the screen shot.

Screen Capture for Droid Incredible 2

I have been trying to figure out how to do the screen capture on my Droid Incredible 2. I accidently did it last night but I'm not sure what I pressed. Does anyone have any idea how to do it?

I didn't think the Dinc2 has a built in screenshot option. Some application might have included the function for their application. I know Weatherbug application has that feature.
The only other way to get screenshots that I am aware of is to install the ADB program on your computer and connect the phone to the computer create screenshot.

Recording/screen capture for android device

Hello all,
I am using Captivate 7 to do record some software simulations for apps on mobile devices. Up until now, I've recorded apps on the iPad, and I used Reflector to mirror the display to my computer.
Now I have to do a project where I need to record an app that's on an Android device (Galaxy Notebook). I've tried Bluestacks, to at least emulate the app on my computer, but I can't get bluestacks to work.
Can anyone recommend any other mirroring device or emulator that works with an android based app?
thanks a bunch.

Screen capture of video editing software

Hi there
Has anyone had any luck with recording the screen of a video editing software? I have tried to record some actions in a piece of software that has a video preview window among other things. The video or audio does not record in Captivate. Has anyone had any luck with this type of thing at all? If not - any suggestions?
Thanks

Screen capture as video and multicasting

halo everyone, i am planing to do a multicast program which capture the local screen as video and transmit to all client.
It is one way communication which is clients are always only on listening mode(It cannot be stop). Server can choose to broadcast or stop the broadcast.
eg software: TightProjector / VNC
Currently my multicast connection is done, all the client can get message from multicast server.
I stuck on how to capture local screen as video and transmit to all the client.
Any method for me to start with it?
What should i looking for??
thx in adv
:D
