[dba-Tech] extract MPEG frame

IIRC, that has to do w/ that the image is not really there, it's uhh..
what do they call it?... overlayed...

but if you return to PowerDVD, go into the configuration menu, then go
into the advanced button, and there you will have an option tab for
capture.

choose the location of the .bmp and go from there... the resulting
file can be chosen to be either window or original video source size
:)

good luck
