Screencaps

Xena season four is now finished. Since Babylon 5 pretty clearly won the poll, I'll proceed with that. The S1 DVDs are still on their way here from Dublin (where Blackstar lives), but they should arrive any day now and until then I have the pilot episode to do. Lyta's in it, and the proto-Ivanova isn't too shabby-looking.

But, but... Buffy. And Bring It On.

Actually, what do you use for capping DVDs? I've had zero luck with my BIO DVD, despite trying everything I could find recommended online.

Yeah, I was a bit surprised too. But it shouldn't take too long to do B5 S1, there's not much f/f stuff in it :-)

I use a program called MPlayer. I don't know if it's available for Windows, I run FreeBSD. Anyway, it's got a gazillion different output drivers, a few of which are dumping individual movie frames to disk in different image formats. So I'll locate a part of an episode/movie that has interesting images in it, dump it to disk and then look trough all the frames picking out the ones that turned out best. This way I can also get things that happen very quickly, like the three frames of what looks like a naked Renee O'Connor from behind in Xena episode "Forget Me Not".

Ah, cool. My comp's dual-boot Windows/Linux, so maybe I'll find a solution the other side of the partition. It's just that there's a great sequence in BIO where there are several frames of Torrance quite clearly scoping out Missy's breasts, and- well. You know. These things are necessary.

Can you say about when in the movie it is? If I can find it I might do that scene out of turn, or so.
