Getting a laptop with BD, so I can do some screencaps - Blu-ray Forum

STI Jaguar · 01-03-2008, 09:43 PM

I might want to get a Laptop with BD, so I can do some screencaps of the nice scenes in the movies that I own. Has anybody been able to screen cap BD movies on their laptop?

I am thinking using Power DVD- but isn't that only for DVDs? Does BD movie player have a capture capability?

If you want proper responses to your questions please post threads with proper titles, not misleading ones.

Yes, there is the profile 1.1 Blu-ray certified Cyberlink software player for Blu-ray discs on PC's and I would believe that it is entirely possible to do screen caps through that.

Be prepared to get some nasty comments man.

I agree with the afore mentioned comments. Your title is mis-leading and though your asking a legit question in the body of your thread, the title is just asking for some swipes.

Just some honest advice.

Can you burn HD-DVD-RWs with your laptop??

I just like saying HD-DVD-RWs... lol. Such a lame format.

I love Toshiba’s laptops; however, I need one with Blu-ray, and yes this statement might sounds like an oxymoron, however, wait till WB and Universal goes Blu. And back on topic, I believe CyberLink’s software for Blu-ray should do fine.

LMAO thats what I was thinking.

I was wondering if the op changed the title already or if some Blu boys are going mad waiting for CES. Cranky ol shits.

Yeah same here, forget about HD DVD for a sec, they make nice electronics, esp their TVs and laptops.

When playing a Blu-ray Disc in PowerDVD Ultra, the screen capture button changes and you *CANNOT* take screen shots.

Capture button becomes Popup Menu button.

+1. leads me to wonder how (former) member drinkmore can get his. I think this is illegal

lch · 02-28-2008, 05:27 AM

i think powerdvd purposely disable the screen capture, bcos i think someone mention that it possible to screen cap frame by frame and rebuild the whole moive.

STI Jaguar · 02-28-2008, 05:25 PM

I found this on PowerDVD's website FAQ.

Quote:

I cannot take a snapshot (screenshot) of the video content during the playback of Blu-ray Disc or HD DVD titles.

Issue

Cannot find or use the Capture feature in PowerDVD to take a snapshot of the Blu-ray Disc or HD DVD movie content.

Cause

Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD prohibit the user from taking a snapshot of the movie content.

Solution

There's no way to take a snapshot of the movie content.

What a Crock!

Hopefull this policy will change once the fascination with 1080p is over. May take 2-3 years.

With PowerDVD Ultra, when a Blu-ray Disc is playing, the capture button changes to the Popup Menu button.

So, in PowerDVD Ultra, when playing a Blu-ray Disc... you cannot capture a frame.

There *IS* a away to do it, but I can't post it here.
