In that case, go and get the real Power DVD. Unless you're email accepts a 497 Mb attachment, i could attach the contents of my power dvd CD that i recently got. I even have a serial number for it, too.

Their arent a lack of places to acquire PowerDVD

Just send her the key it might activate her program to the full version

Actually, the serial number was for another program, not Power DVD. Sorry.

[TameFarrar]

one thing I found with Power DVD is that if it a *burned DVD*or a *Computer DVD* I could not cap from it but if it was a purchased DVD I could. I am not sure if that is part of the problem but I thought I would add that into the mix if that had any bearing

Thank you Tame. I use the original dvd's. I simply am going to purchase the proper package....but not till after the Vancouver con and I have 2 kids birthdays coming soon, so it will have to wait.

The only problem with stargateCaps is the "Scifi" or "SkyOne" Logo

[Qasim]

Its not on all of them

[gatehorse]

can't find anything to indicate its a demo version. I did download a patch from their site, but it hasn't changed. I think after the con, I shall just purchase their newest version....until then, I'll just snurch from my friends...let them do all the work. I tried Gatehorse's suggestion while I used WMP, but it didn't work for me. I guess I don't have the Ancient gene needed to do this.

Technowraith, tell you what. If I haven't worked out the kinks by the time the con rolls around, i'll bring my laptop with me, and maybe you can trouble shoot with it. There would be a few beverages included for your time.

is it March yet?????SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
oops! wrong thread!
sorry, couldn't resist!

It definitely works with AVI files, and not with WMP files...and I guess it doesn't work with dvds. I don't know, since I can't play dvds on my computer. I could tell you how to convert to AVI using freeware...it can take between 2 and 5 hours for one ep depending on computer speed, but you can set it to convert a few eps and leave your comp overnight to work, so that you're ready to cap the next day.

Uh, sounds to complicated for me. I know, I'll just visit your PB accounts and snurch some more! Uh, got any of Joe Flanigan??

On MV2 Player, doesn't allow you to capture MPG files, but the cool thing about the program is that you can actually capture multiple frames, like if you have a 30 second clip that you want to capture for an animated gif, you can capture every single frame or every 20 frames of the video (the default to every 750 frames) and it shrinks the image in half so it can capture the images faster (however, it give you the option to change the size and the quality of the frames/images).

That's one way to do it. Stargate Screencap site is one of the best screencap sites out there.

Wraithing you is still within the realm of possibility, but i'm helpful to those who are in need of it.
