I got a new DVD rom/burner drive today and i am in the process of making new caps.  here is a sample of one of my caps note that it is MUCH bigger than the old caps.



Emmy is not as big as MOST of the girls in my caps, but she is a favorite around here (I am looking at YOU Galvatron ) but she shows off what she DOES have very well in that shot .

She's a fave of mine too, Dee.  She's been enchanting me ever since "Songcatcher."

Thanks Agent Dee -

big caps are good - but how about trimming off the black bars as they don't really add anything useful to the image.

KMPlayer takes caps even the size of a full screen window. This attached cap is 1280 x 718.

This player is a free download. Just Google KMPlayer.

I could have gone larger than the size i picked and the bars are only on dvds that are in 2:35:1 ratio.  i could remove them but i don't feel like having to do that as its only a small part of the cap.

Just curious - what DVD authoring software do you use? I use DVD Flick, an open-source program that works very well.

[AgentDee]

I use PowerDVD 7 Deluxe which came with my new DVD rom/burner.  it makes VERY nice caps, the old caps were 720x480 and most of them were darker cause i used winDVD that came with my old video card and you could only do so many caps before having to re start the software being it was a demo.
