High resolution still frame capture from dvd for print.

[pjsallday]

I have tried to capture a still from a dvd and the resolution is not even close to what I need it at. I have used PowerDVD and the trial version of DirectDVD. What I have tried with these programs does work. I could be wrong. If there is someway to make it larger and better, but I can't find it. The tools if any are to primitve for me to do anything. The file size I'm getting is 1000k and I need it more around 20-30 mb. Please let me know if there is a program out there for this high definition capturing for print.
Thank you,

Joseph

well the source is going to be 720 x 480 no mater what --- so anything larger than that you are going to have to do your own w/ photoshop or something like that ...

here is a tip on which method to use:

Nearest Neighbor Skips or duplicates pixels as needed. This produces the fastest but crudest results.

Bi-Linear Uses a simplistic filter, which produces relatively clean and fast results.

Bi-Cubic Uses a filter, which produces a nominal result. It offers a good compromise between speed and quality.

B-Spline Produces better results with continuous tone images but is slower than Bi-Cubic. If the images have fine detail in them, the results may be blurrier than desired.

Catmull-Rom Produces good results with continuous tone images which are resized down. Produces sharp results with finely detailed images.

Gaussian Very similar in speed and quality to Bi-Cubic.

Mitchell Similar to Catmull-Rom but produces better results with finely detailed images. It is slower than Catmull-Rom.

Lanczos Very similar to Mitchell and Catmull-Rom but is a little cleaner and also slower.

Sinc An advanced filter that produces very sharp, detailed results, however, it may produce visible `ringing' in some situations. Optimizations in version 4 have made this filter significantly faster than in the past.

Bessel Similar to the Sinc filter but may be slightly faster.

Window Method
Selects the Windowing method for the Sinc and Bessel filters. These shapes limit the filter's sample size to reduce the processing speed and ringing effects.

Note
Most of the Resize tool's filters are useful only when making an image larger. When shrinking images, it is common to use the Bi-Linear filter, however, the Catmull-Rom filter will produce sharper results.

its not so much the size i need it's more the improved quaility. When i blow it up it gets distorted. I need a filter that improves the quality not just the size.


thanks,

that would be the million dollar filter
