Have you got a software DVD player installed on your pc?

I have PowerDVD and it can capture single frames from any media it can play and save these captured frames as BMP images.

Not the best move. Always test first.

PowerDVD can do that. Open it - click on the little hammer-like icon. Go to video tab - UNTICK enable hardware acceleration.

Now use the camera icon to grab back the screen images.

Remember to re-enable hardware acceleration when you're done.

I don't know about the demo. I have a full copy.

Have you tried to do it yet?

could e mail you a photo from the disc to see if you can open it ( not of her )

I don't understand that part. If you can grab & then email "a photo from the disc", then what is the difficulty you are having in grabbing then resaving as a bmp or other graphic format.

I'm puzzled.

must be because its a demo will get the full version thanks for your help
