Tell me please, /hr/, how can I make High Resolution screencaps from my DVDs?

Pic obviously not related, but still nice to look at.

DVD = 720x480 supposed you use ntsc

you can only get image information for this resolution, any higher ress = old and boring resize discussion

--> Capture the image in full DVD res e.g. 720x480 and blow it up with photozoom pro2 or whatever

IIRC PowDVD captures to a file or to your clipboard, but you can't make high res caps out of DVDs.

Pic obviously unrelated.

All old "analog filmed" movies can be degitalized to 1080p.

ALL, haasome?

because movies aren't shot in DVD resolution. You know, otherwise you'd just see lots of blur and/or huge pixels in movie theatres.

although 720x480 is the resolution, the Pixel Aspect Ratio on NTSC televisions is .9, so you're really getting an original 640x480 image stretched out to 720x480 image squashed back down to 640x480 when you watch it on television

isn't NTSC grand?

Media player classic and VLC each can play HD-DVDs (blue ray?) and you can get caps using them, usually with decent results.

Actually you can think of SD NTSC TVs as displaying in 720x540. TV pixels are 1/8th taller than they are wide, so the 480 pixel height is stretched to 112.5% of "normal". Don't believe me, go stick your nose up against a normal SD TV (Not an HDTV/LCD/DLP whatever because they all use square pixels and have an internal scaler that bobs the NTSC signal and scales it to the panel's resolution). Most software players will scale 720x480 down to 640x480 instead of blowing it up because that way every other line can be given to a field (computers display an interlaced image as 2 fields in 1 frame, at half the framerate). Scaling it up would leave a double field every 8 fields, and that would cause irreversable damage to the frame. "640x480@29.97fps" is the digisubber way of dealing with a kind of signal they don't actually understand, but need to work with without making a complete mess of things.

mplayer, a linux video player but probably available for windows too, can decode every single frame of a video file or dvd to an image, quite handy as as hq as you'll get with the source material.

ffmpeg (mencoder, too, iirc) can split into yuv and ac3; handy as fuck

no, you can't

the simple test is this - plug a 720x540 image into any dvd authoring suite and compose a dvd

the source image will be shrunk down to 720x480, but when extracted from video as a still frame your resolution will drop to 640x480

when discussing televisions, only the vertical resolution is a constant since the WIDTH of pixels (not height) is defferent depending on whether it's NTSC, NTSC 16:9, PAL, or PAL 16:9
