Need help on Screenshots

[Bellz]

Today i get my Blu Ray Burner.
I try to play a BR and it works all fine.

I use PowerDVD8, that comes with the package.
When i use a DVD its possibel to make screenshots.
But when i put in the BR the button for screenshots is away.
So is there a way to make screenshots from the blu ray when its playing?
Maybe another program?

Who can help?

You can't take screenshots with bluray using PowerDVD. You'll have to do it in VLC.

yeah vlc media player will do it.
as for powerdvd i find that program way too bloated and sluggish.

i have heard good thing about this one but as of yet never tried it

Yes i read also a lot of good things of "TotalMedia Theatre 5".
With that program it should be possible to make screenshots with blu ray.
Did anyone use that?

well had to test this program out.
anyway seems to be pretty good.
i tested it with a few dvd's and all seemed to take screen shots ok.
i did however test it on the Metallica - 15-08-2006 Seoul South Korea Blu-ray leglessmoof version recently seeded here and it wont allow me to take screenshots of it. although it plays perfect. im sure it has something to do with protection.

ok me again. been on the hunt and i have came across something that for me worked.
i have tried just about everything i could think of.

the prog is called Pavtube Blu-Ray Ripper and the guide can be found here.
i tested it out and it worked fine using the method posted above.

here are a couple of sample screens i took from Metallica - 15-08-2006 Seoul South Korea Blu-ray leglessmoof version.
also note the actual screen sizes it saved them at with default settings.. and the small file size in comparison.
screens could be better but i didnt use the pause button on them.

EDIT:: note i couldnt seem to be able to get the main menu to show up but at least screens can be taken
