[dba-Tech] extract MPEG frame

I used to get that with the old version of Power DVD I had - you couldn't
save pictures, but I'd heard that they "fixed" it in the new version...
sorry, can't remember version numbers off the top of my head.

even more interesting
when I save a picture in a file BMP or even TIF
and then continue viewing the film, the picture changes.
when I turn the viewer (PowerDVD) off, the SAVED picture is black
is that a new feature of WinXP?
is this a new feature of save?
anybody seen that?
