I think they're called "movie stills."

The easiest solution is to use an online image converter. They are very easy to use; just go to one of the example websites below. The process is very intuitive.\n\nExamples:\n\nhttp://www.catenarysystems.com/demos/convert/convert.aspx\nhttp://www.dvdsmiles.com/Default.aspx?Content=ConvertImage\n\nIf you would prefer to use software which would ensure that your images are kept private, try using something like  Paint.NET ( http://www.eecs.wsu.edu/paint.net/ )

Buy a Hewlett Packard lightscribe DVD R/RW or equivalent. They are only about £35 or so and are the nhottest new thing. You burn the disc one side then you turn it over and burn a title and/or logo on the other side. No colour and you have to buy their own cdrs but doesnt use ink. \nThe alternative is to buy a label maker which I find are rubbish becuase the labels cmoe off, or you buy a CD printer which is a fortune. As for software, "Nero" will do that for you amongst other things and its a great peice of software.

I use  a program that's called  ADS TECH 'DVD EXPRESS'. It works really well. It's basically a modulator that hooks up to the computer. You can hook up your television, your VCR, camera or camcorder to it and upload all movies or images. It records them to a file of your choice or you can transfer them directly to a disc. And they play beautifully on your DVD player. I did this for christmas. I made a disc for each of my children with pics of them when they were young and old home movie footage. They loved it. There are several programs out there you can also go to a computer store and ask someone about different software depending on what your needs are. By the way, the above software costs about $50 to $70. Hope this helped. I should also add that the program allows you to create your own titles and backgrounds, special effects and such. With menu pages as well. Just like an actual DVD.

if you're trying to burn AVIs, MPEGs, etc. to a video DVD usually the procedure is (1) convert movie file to a DVD format files then (2) burn those onto a DVD using your burning software (nero, roxio, etc.). some programs will allow you to select a movie file then convert and burn in one session. have you even try to run the proggie you've downloaded?\n\nbut remeber, converting movies to DVD take ALOT of time. i reccomend everyone to just buy a DVD player that plays AVIs, MPEGs, etc. straight from computer files - the cost under $80. it saves you a lot of time.

Try BlindWrite.\nUsing BlindWrite, write the movies to an image file and then, write the image file to the DVD disk using BlindWrite.

the makers of DVDxCopy are out of business because of the MPAA. \n\nThere are forums and sites for support but the company is gone so official support is nowhere to be found.

That software is completely illegal and most of the versions of it are completely illegal.  You can try to find a program that will "rip" the dvd to your hard drive and then you can create and burn a dvd image from there, but it's not really worth the time and effort unless you're going to sell them or something.  If you're just trying to get cheap dvd's for yourself, go to a video rental place and buy their used ones, they usually have good deals and at least you get a case.

You need a program that would change it into VCD (Video CD). Like Intervideo DVDCopy 4 would do it. But if it's bigger than the CD it would need to be put in 2 CD's. DVD-Shrink is a good program but it may cut out the ending of the movie. It has happened to me alot that's why now I'm putting it into DVD+R with CloneDVD 2.

if you have a decent cd burner program, they have an inbuild video encoder program.  I use Nero and it does that for me and i can fit an entire movie on a vcd

If your computer doesn't have native AVI or WM* file compatibility, you may need to convert them to VOB files, which is the native file format of DVD players.  \n\nA program like Nero Vision will do that for you.  You can download a copy of the demo of Nero Ultra 7 at www.nero.com .\n\nHope this helps!\nMM

You can Do this by using the freesoftware called VirtualDub . But the easist way to do this is with VCD Cutter , it's like cut and paste.

Are you looking for one that will capture in animated form? If you need that see:\n\nhttp://www.wisdom-soft.com/\n\nOtherwise the "Print Screen" button should be good enough.\n\nAs for capturing video such as from a DVD, I don't think it will capture that, but try it if you want.

movies or data?\n\nIf you have a fairly good dvd burner on your computer for movies I'd use http://www.dvdshrink.org/what.html\n\nDVD Shrink..its FREE, and provides no loss of quality for movies, unlike commercial pay for it dvd back up software.\n\nIts simple to use, all in one software. You used to have to link it to another piece of software.  Now you can just put in a dvd...select OPEN disc.  Then Back UP.  Wait some time (between 10mins to an hour) and it begins burning.  NO loss of quality.\n\nDVD X Copy is a lesser contender, but again being commercial software its a) not free b) you do lose visible quality on your footage if you are compressing a larger film onto a DVD-r(or dvd+r). \n\nOf course you may have a dual layer burner that can cope with 9GB DVD blank discs....\n\nFor data:\n\nI just use NERO.  Why? because its practiaclly idiot proof and does do a lot.\n\nOnce you got your software you'll want discs!\n\nThis is the best place to get them online.  I can get DVD blanks for under a dollar a piece! \nhttp://www.meritline.com/\n\nThis is the type I use http://www.meritline.com/ritek-8x-dvd-r-dvdr-silver-blank-media-discs1.html Though this is DVD-R be sure to buy the type YOU can burn to.  I have recently upgraded to a better DVD player, but my old no thrills basic model coped with these discs whereas it wouldnt others.  My new DVD player copes with pretty much any disc.  But I like these DVDs and pretty much stick them.\n\nMerit line are really cheap (the above start at $0.45 each in packs of 50), and have a 60 day money back garuntee if your dvds are no good.  So you can burn one, try it in your dvd player and if its no good, send it all back! Heck if you only want to burn your kid's dvds...then you could buy 1 box of 50 and there you have 4GB of storage on 1 DVD almost like a mini hard drive!\n\nGood luck
