    I have a problem with Power DVD's screencapture feature.When trying to grab a still from widescreen movies,they end up looking not wide enough.Everything in the capture is tall and skinny.This does not happen when I get a grab from a full screen (4:3) movie.I usually open the bitmaps with Photoshop 7.Does anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong?

    Yu mean they ARE wide enough, but they are too tall. which is a bit different. How are you viewing them, and for what purpose??

    The electronic components of the power part adopted a lot of Rubycons.

    I hit that damn little camera button all day....nothing happens. Where do the screenshots go anyway? I had the video paused...should it be playing?

    Their aspect ratio is squished so that a circle appears as a tall oval,faces are too narrow,etc.This happens with widescreen movies but not full screen ones.

    Hech54,click on the little hammer/tack logo (configuration).Click on general,then advanced options,then capture.By default,PDVD copies the images to your clipboard.Just change that and specify a directory for it to dump all the bitmap images into.Yes,It will work also on pause.
