How do I make screen captures?

[on:]

Hi I'm trying to captures some stills from the dvds to draw from and I do the print screen hot key and can get the image to paste somewhere but I don't know how to save it to view or edit. Everytime I take out the dvd, the grabs turn black. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Well, if your like me a Mac user, go for SnapNDrag.
If your a PC person, I'm not to shore, but you mite want to get a program thats designed for doing that stuff, check out www.VersionTracker.com  and search there, good luck.

Get CyberLink Power Dvd or another program that lets you capture the image, in Power dvd, you do it by using th 'c' key.

yes the print screen key doesn't work, because DVD-softwares don't work that way   
It's because the DVD image isn't generated by your operation system (windows, mac, linux, whatever...) but it is pasted into the screen by your graphics card. So grabbing it with "PrtScrn" doesn't work.

Try Guineapig Trick's trick (  ) that's how I do it as well.

Ah thanks a bunch. And one more thing, could you elaborate on the "c" key perhaps? I tried plain c and c + control but it was another command. And thanks for the help you guys.

It probably looks like this, you open up Power dvd and play the file, and either click that button or simply press the 'c' key. After that you go to MS paint, or photoshop, and push ctrl+v, to paste it, then save the image.
